Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware has become one of the best solutions for real-time distributed industrial systems. An interesting innovation would be the use of the DDS middleware on top of Ethernet networks to enhance the performances of automobile applications. In this paper, we will introduce the use of DDS on top of Ethernet networks and propose as a testing application an extended SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) benchmark. The main aim is to be able to calculate the worst case response time (WCRT) based on a scheduling model, and using it as a metric to evaluate the respected of DDS real-time QoS (Quality of Service). The results obtained by using Ethernet are compared to the results found using FlexRay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
