Data Distribution Service in Linux Kernel Module

Building on the success of our Phase I effort, Real-Time Innovations (RTI) proposes to enhance our implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-Time Systems. These improvements will be applicable to RTI Data Distribution Service 4.1, a leading DDS product well-suited to fit the performance requirements of NAVAIR. The modular architecture of NDDS allows significant improvement possibilities, which are discussed in detail in this proposal. We anticipate that the research results produced by this effort will have clear commercial applicability and directly benefit all of our customers. This Phase II effort will culminate in a demonstration of the work performed along with quantifiable performance test results. Much development work will have to be done to optimize, document, and fully test our solution during Phase II, but we are confident of our ambitious approach. This proposal will focus on three areas: • Performance (especially latency and throughput) • Portability (especially architectures of interest to the Navy OA community) • Security (especially related to Common Criteria Information Assurance best-practices)
