OpenDDS Essentials: Configuration, Listeners, Conditions, and Content Subscription
Extend your OpenDDS programming skills with a deep dive into both DDS standard features and configurable aspects of the OpenDDS implementation. Learn how applications can react to events that occur in the middleware with Listeners and Conditions. Explore the advanced Content-Subscription Profile features that enable processing based on the contents of data samples.
Overview
Proficiency with middleware technologies like DDS has become an in-demand skill as more companies implement solutions driven by robotics, smart systems, and automation.
This 6-hour course builds on our Introduction to OpenDDS Programming course. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab exercises, participants learn how to use features of OpenDDS technology that were not covered in the introduction.
Objectives
This course prepares participants to:
- Decide which OpenDDS transports and discovery mechanisms are right for your application
- Understand the Listeners and Conditions notification styles, including their impact on performance and threading models
- Determine when to use Listeners, when to use Conditions, and when to use both
- Use the Content-Subscription Profile features, QueryCondition, ContentFilteredTopic, and MultiTopic
Outline
The following topics are covered in this course:
- Configuring transports and discovery
- Using Listener interfaces
- Conditions and WaitSets
- Content-Subscription Profile
Intended Audience
Although everyone is welcome, this course is most valuable to distributed application developers and architects looking to expand their mastery of a standards-based, open source, publish-subscribe middleware solution.
Prerequisites
To get the most out of this course, we recommend students have completed Introduction to OpenDDS Programming or have equivalent experience with either the OpenDDS project or another DDS implementation.
It is not necessary to have completed OpenDDS Essentials I to take OpenDDS Essentials II.
This is a live, hands-on training course. No recording of this training event will be made available for on-demand consumption.
