Object Management Group To Launch DDS Foundation
The Object
Management Group® (OMG®), an
international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards
consortium, today announced the formation of the DDS Foundation. The
goal of the Foundation is to bring together a community of technology
companies, end users, developers and IIoT industry influencers to
advance the mission of the OMG Data-Distribution
Service™ (DDS™) standard.
The work of the Foundation will center on user case studies, education
initiatives, conformance/interoperability testing, and industry data
repository models that promote awareness of the standard's use in edge
autonomy, high performance, highly-scalable Industrial Internet of
Things (IoT) and large-scale Consumer IoT applications.
The official launch of the Foundation will take place on March 20 during
the OMG Technical Committee meeting in Reston, VA. The Foundation's
newly elected leaders will moderate its inaugural event, DDS
in the Real World, which will focus on the use of DDS in IIoT,
robotics and defense. Speakers include:
