DDS (Data Distribution Service)

Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a middleware protocol that enables real-time, scalable, and reliable communication between software applications, often across different devices or networks. It functions like a publish/subscribe system where applications can publish data updates or subscribe to receive specific data, ensuring swift and efficient data sharing. Used in fields like autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and industrial automation, DDS provides a standardized way for systems to exchange information seamlessly, even in complex, distributed environments. It ensures that data flows smoothly, consistently, and securely to support mission-critical applications.
