Co-Chair OMG Data-Distribution SIG, CTO at Real-Time Innovations I work at Real-Time Innovations, a company that specializes connectivity and interoperability software for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. These are critical systems with significant requirements in terms of scalability, performance, robustness and security. In recent years my work has focused around the OMG Data-Distribution Service Standard (DDS). I co-authored this OMG specification back in 2004 with Virginie Watine from THALES, the sister Data-Distribution Service Interoperability Wire Protocol Standard (DDS-RTPS) with Carlo Cloet from CNH, and the DDS Security specification (DDS-Security). I founded and now co-chair the OMG Data Distribution SIG which is responsible for this technology, and in the last few years co-authored and helped develop 5 more related DDS specifications: DDS Extensible Types, RPC over DDS (DDS-RPC), Web-Enabled DDS (DDS-WEB), DDS for light-weight CCM, DDS ISO/C++ PSM and DDS Java 5+ PSM. ©
