RTI Data Distribution Service 4.4 Eases Upgrading of Deployed Real-Time Systems

Reduces software lifecycle costs by extending DDS standard’s loose coupling.

San Jose, CA, April 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Real-Time Innovations (RTI), The Real-Time Middleware Experts, announced today the release of version 4.4 of RTI Data Distribution Service, the market-leading implementation of the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. New capabilities in 4.4 reduce software lifecycle costs by making it easier to insert new technology into already deployed distributed real-time applications. Version 4.4 also eases integration of real-time and embedded applications utilizing RTI Data Distribution Service with applications using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) based Enterprise middleware such as Web Services.

“RTI Data Distribution Service is being used in systems that will be deployed for as long as 30 years,” commented Edwin de Jong, RTI’s director of core product management and strategy. “These systems’ architects recognized that RTI Data Distribution Service and the DDS standard provide significant cost savings by decoupling the underlying subsystems and applications—which can number in the thousands. New features in our 4.4 release extend this benefit by making it easier to insert new technology and capabilities that interoperate seamlessly with already deployed components.”

With RTI Data Distribution Service 4.4, the interfaces that applications use to communicate with each other can be dynamically defined, updated and discovered at runtime rather than at compile time. As a result, systems can evolve to accommodate new functionality without breaking interoperability and backward compatibility. Already developed application code does not have to be updated and bridges are not required between new and legacy components. This significantly reduces development and upgrade costs.
