OpenDDS Programming with C++

Overview

The OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-time Systems is a publish-and-subscribe service designed to meet the performance, scalability, and quality-of-service needs of real-time and embedded systems.

The OpenDDS project is an open source, C++ implementation of the OMG DDS specification. 

This course prepares students to:

• Understand the Data Distribution Service's role in developing distributed applications
• Define custom DDS data types using OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL)
• Create DDS publishers and data writers
• Create DDS subscribers and data readers
• Understand DDS Quality-of-Service (QoS) settings and apply them to DDS entities

Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, we recommend students have a working knowledge of C++ and familiarity with object-oriented programming concepts.

This is a live, hands-on training course. No recording of this training event will be made available for on-demand consumption.
