Data-centric mediation tools resolve the legacy source-code conundrum - Story
October 09, 2013
Government acquisition policies and contracts have assumed that source code equaled control of portability, extensibility, and interoperability. Unfortunately, control is an illusion. The reality is that the DoD now has millions of lines of code, divorced from their original architects and developers, that the government seeks to reuse - and it often costs more to reuse than to develop from scratch.

Data-centric architectural best practices: Using DDS to integrate real-world distributed systems - Story
September 04, 2013
More and more real-world, complex distributed systems are integrated using a Data-Centric Publish-Subscribe approach, specifically the programming model defined by the Object Management Group (OMG) known as the Data Distribution Service (DDS) specification. The DDS Publish-Subscribe approach meets many challenging requirements - supporting large-scale, high-performance, and constrained-bandwidth systems on both powerful machines and embedded platforms. DDS has been used across a wide variety of applications in the defense, robotics, transportation, medical, and financial industries. The following discussion provides a set of architectural "best practices" guidelines that should be applied when using DDS to integrate complex, real-world systems.

Preserving legacy systems, by choice or necessity - Story
February 11, 2010
Sometimes the best approach to preserving and extending aging military systems is the addition of modern protocol adapters. Consequently, new hardware and software come together to bring legacy equipment data into the network-centric world.

Data-centric architecture for military embedded systems - Story
October 27, 2009
Publish-subscribe middleware is the key technology that enables data-centric architecture. The DDS standard precisely defines how the middleware controls and transmits information. Successful applications include many shipboard and UAV systems.
