Extending the Power of DDS

RTI Spreadsheet Add-in for Microsoft Excel extends the capabilities of RTI Data Distribution Service and the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) middleware standard that it supports. It allows spreadsheets to participate seamlessly as peers on a DDS "real-time software bus" along with applications written in C, C++, Java, .NET and Ada; Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines; databases; and mobile and embedded devices.

The ease with which spreadsheets can interoperate with other DDS applications illustrates the flexibility of the DDS standard's data-centric approach to messaging and application integration.
