Using DDS XTypes in OpenDDS™ Projects
Dramatically expand the flexibility of your distributed applications by learning how to use the OpenDDS project's XTypes features.
Overview
The DDS XTypes specification enables new use cases with extended data modeling and schema evolution.
OpenDDS applications using XTypes can robustly handle data type differences that arise from changing requirements or from deliberate design decisions.
This 6-hour course covers the capabilities and mechanisms of XTypes and prepares students to use them in applications.
