“…The initial need for DDS-HLA interoperability arises from an industrial project that is a DDS-based avionic system development platform, namely HAVESIS. 11 This DDS-based system is intended to cooperate with an HLA-based tactical simulation system. An architectural connector-based gateway is developed as a solution.…”

“…62 In our case studies, there are no strict deadline constraints since the aim is to qualify the data interoperability of two systems in a distributed environment. For the industrial case study presented in Section 5.1 (the TES system 11 ), the target is the interoperation of simulators, emulators, and real avionics. The TES system is intended to run in soft-real time, which is known to be a configuration option for a software integration lab system, 63 where the latency of subsystems is fairly acceptable for the intended use.…”

Software systems need to be complex and large‐scale to keep up with growing user expectations with ever‐increasing technological improvements. Building these systems from scratch is costly and time‐consuming; thus, the importance of reuse and interoperability is increasing. Live‐virtual‐constructive (LVC) simulation systems are composed of multiple heterogeneous subsystems. These subsystems may have different implementations and designs. In such multiarchitecture LVC environments, gateways are promising solutions to address interoperability issues. In this article, a gateway‐based solution is proposed to achieve LVC interoperability with a particular focus on two standard middleware, namely, data distribution service for real‐time systems (DDS) and high‐level architecture (HLA) for distributed simulation. The gateway is capable of providing two‐way data transfer between DDS and HLA. The design of the gateway adheres to the idea of configurable connectors, which allow users to generate a customized gateway. The gateway is capable of converting primitive and structured data types between DDS and HLA. These conversions are specified by users resulting in different configurations of the gateway. The gateway can also be adapted to different configurations at runtime. This research addresses the increasing importance of interoperability and reuse considering the complex and large‐scale LVC systems. The effectiveness of the proposed gateway is demonstrated by academic and industrial case studies.

“…Their proposed DDS middleware is based on the publish-subscribe model and has QoS support. Cilden et al [15] proposed a general distributed architecture based on a DDS as an integrated laboratory architecture for avionics. Their proposed architecture facilitates the testing of modular avionics against the rest of the system consisting of real hardware and simulated participants by bringing together different communication bus standards and improving flexibility through DDS and data gateways.…”

Data Distribution Service Converter Based on the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture Publish–Subscribe Protocol

The open platform communications unified architecture (OPC UA) is a major industry-standard middleware based on the request–reply pattern, and the data distribution service (DDS) is an industry standard in the publish–subscribe form. The OPC UA cannot replace fieldbuses at the control and field levels. To facilitate real-time connectionless operation, the OPC Foundation added the publish–subscribe model—a new specification that supports broker functions, such as message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT), and advanced message queuing protocol (AMQP)—to the OPC UA Part 14 standard. This paper proposes a protocol converter for incorporation into the application layer of the DDS subscriber to facilitate interoperability among publisher–subscriber pairs. The proposed converter comprises a DDS gateway and bridge. The former exists inside the MQTT and AMQP brokers, which convert OPC UA publisher data into DDS messages prior to passing them on to the DDS subscriber. The DDS bridge passes the messages received from the DDS gateway to the OPC UA subscriber in the corresponding DDS application layer. The results reported in existing studies, and those obtained using the proposed converter, allow all devices supporting the OPC UA and OPC UA PubSub standards to realize DDS publish–subscribe interoperability.
