Justin Wilson and Erik Hendriks

Industrial Talk is onsite at OMG, Q1 Meeting and talking to Justin Wilson and Erik Hendriks  about “Data Distribution Service (DDS) the middleware that enables the free flow of data”.

Scott MacKenzie hosts a podcast celebrating industrial professionals and their innovations. At the OMG SQ1 meeting in Reston, Virginia, he interviews Erik Hendriks and Justin Wilson about DDS (Data Distribution System). Erik, a senior architect at ZettaScale, has been involved with DDS for 20 years. Justin, a principal software engineer at Unity Foundation, explains the open-source implementation of DDS. DDS enables efficient data transfer without the need for applications to know the transport details. It supports a publish-subscribe model, ensuring data reliability and scalability. The conversation highlights DDS’s role in modern data-intensive applications and its future focus on scalability, big data, and security.
