AI to Run the Real World: MedTech

Software-defined systems rely on rapid, dependable communication throughout a vast interconnected system of devices and subsystems. Yet as the systems evolve, those based on a message-centric paradigm simply cannot keep up.  

Choosing a data-centric framework solves the scalability challenge. RTI Connext, built on the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, uses a publish/subscribe approach that enables loose coupling of system elements to make data available where and when it’s needed - regardless of system size.  

This webinar will compare DDS to traditional socket-based network communication. It will introduce key aspects of discovery-based publish-and-subscribe communication and discuss how to manage different data flows with reliable Quality of Service (QoS). 

The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.

The approach provides a framework for ensuring the desired degree of trustworthiness in the system while also reducing the overall software development costs.

AI to run the Real World: Trustworthy Software-Defined Vehicles

Data is the key to intelligence. In the cloud, where enterprise applications run, AI has easy access to data and plenty of time to process that data. But smart machines in the real world need to access and process data much faster. So, in real-world systems, the key to intelligent reaction is data flow: getting the right data to the right place at the right time. This is one of the most complex and demanding challenges of the future. It requires an entirely different architecture.

This talk will explore the technology challenges in AI, and the foundational architecture that is enabling intelligence across industries. It will also discuss real-world examples ranging from healthcare to transportation, and explain why AI is so important to the future of digital transformation in almost every industry.

Top 3 Tips to Break Through Hospital IT Silos

Cybersecurity is critical in developing and running complex, distributed systems.  As systems become more interconnected and intelligent, protecting data against cyberattacks and unauthorized participants becomes increasingly challenging. The first step to securing a distributed system is to protect its data.  

As a publish/subscribe protocol, DDS helps ensure that only authorized users and nodes can transmit and receive data, providing zero-trust, end-to-end data protection and data-origin authentication. 

The DDS Security specification defines the security model and Service Plugin Interface (SPI) architecture for DDS-compliant implementations. This enables out-of-the-box security between compliant DDS applications. Specifically, the use of SPIs allows DDS users to customize the authentication, access control, encryption, message authentication, digital signing, logging and data tagging.

The OMG will release an updated version of the DDS Security specification later this year. Last updated in 2018, the updated version includes new cryptographic algorithms, key rotation, support for dynamic revocation of credentials and hardness against DoS attacks. This webinar will provide an overview of the DDS Security spec with an emphasis on the new features. The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.

What’s New in the DDS Security Standard

In 2010, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) released their General Vehicle Architecture standard (Def Stan 23-009), widely known as GVA. It defined a set of requirements for the development of military vehicles aimed at reducing project risk, reducing costs and improving equipment capability.

In the intervening years, GVA has evolved as lessons have been learned, technology has improved and requirements have changed. 

This webinar outlines the key technical aspects of GVA. It will focus on how Data Distribution Service (DDS) is used as part of the underlying structure of a GVA based system, and will review some of the more recent changes in the GVA standard itself.

Understanding GVA: An Evolving Platform for Land Vehicles

Next-generation healthcare systems promise to deliver more targeted treatments, improve patient outcomes, and lower patient and hospital costs. To make this vision a reality, the industry must overcome key blockers, particularly around medical device interoperability.

While a connected device ecosystem will deliver better outcomes, it also increases system complexity. The solution is an open, interoperable connectivity architecture that can enable future-forward flexibility and scalability while maintaining reliability, cybersecurity, and performance.

In this webinar we'll discuss how the right architectural framework connects systems of medical devices so they work as a single integrated solution – reliably, securely and in real-time. It will discuss how using commercial off-the-shelf software, based on open standards, can manage the necessary infrastructure to optimize outcomes and productivity, allowing developers  to focus on application development and the integration of new technologies, instead of infrastructure.

Connectivity for Next-Gen Medical Devices: Real-Time, Secure, Scalable

Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) require flexibility from the middleware and networking layers, while maintaining a reliable data flow. They need to be able to adjust dynamically to new platforms and enable new features to be introduced at a rapid pace, without overhauling the system architecture. In order to enable this future-forward flexibility, it’s crucial to allow collaboration between different partners and rely on open standards.

By putting Data Distribution Service (DDS™) on top of TSN, system architects and application developers can leverage the DDS software databus with the advanced networking capabilities of TSN to create a powerful distributed data-centric software integration framework.

This webinar will review the OMG® DDS-TSN standardization efforts to extend DDS with a configuration model and a set of guidelines in order to successfully deploy DDS applications over TSN. It will illustrate how to map DDS messages to TSN frames and configure TSN to meet timing related DDS-level QoS for automotive use cases.

Deploying DDS applications over TSN for Software-Defined Vehicles

DDS turns 20! In 2024, we celebrate 20 years of DDS innovation. From its first use case that enabled distributed communications for US Navy ships to the autonomous systems of today, the DDS family of standards has enabled new generations of applications to run reliably, rapidly and securely, regardless of distance or scale. 

To commemorate this milestone, the DDS Foundation will be running a year-long celebration to highlight the 14 specifications in the DDS standard, along with selected real-world use cases. 

Kicking it off on January 18 is a webinar that starts at the beginning: A discussion with the original Principal Developer of the original Proof of Concept experiments, along with the lead developer of the original DDS standard. Audience Q&A is encouraged. 

The audience will gain insights into the development of the original DDS standard, including:
- Why the US Navy needed a distributed communication protocol
- Insights from the original developer of the core technology
- How it became a standard
- And more!

DDS, the US Navy, and the Need for Distributed Software

There’s one thing that system administrators can all agree on: Deploying and managing large-scale distributed systems is complex. And if you have hundreds of applications, trying to do everything manually would not work. So, to overcome this problem, container technologies have been widely adopted for large-scale distributed systems across a variety of industries. 
 
A container is a unit of software deployment that packages an application and its dependencies. Container technologies could be useful for Data Distribution Service™ (DDS) systems, especially if you have a large-scale system and need to remotely deploy, update and scale it. At RTI, we have been exploring Docker and Kubernetes for quite some time now and have learned many lessons. This webinar will focus on how containerized DDS applications can be managed and deployed using Kubernetes, the lessons learned and issues to avoid.
