OpenDDS Programming with C++

OCI - Education & Training - OpenDDS Programming with C++

Schedule


There are no open enrollment classes currently scheduled.

Goals
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. OpenDDS is an open source C++ implementation of the OMG DDS specification. This course provides students with a working knowledge of the DDS specification, the OpenDDS implementation, and hands-on experience developing applications using OpenDDS.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able 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, and DDS subscribers and data readers
  • Understand DDS Quality of Service (QoS) settings and apply them to DDS entities

Audience
Application developers and technical project leaders whose applications can benefit from a publish-subscribe communications model.

Duration
4 days

Prerequisites
Non-trivial working knowledge of C++ and familiarity with object-oriented concepts.
