3 The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
4 Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is a
5 new application layer protocol targeted at real-time communication
6 area, which is built on the top of standard UDP stack. Since there are
7 many TCP/IP stack implementations under many operating systems and
8 RTPS protocol does not have any other special HW/SW requirements, it
9 should be easily ported to many HW/SW target platforms. Because it
10 uses only UDP protocol, it retains control of timing and reliability.
14 * 2015-01-30 We setup a [buildbot instance](http://compile.felk.cvut.cz:8011/waterfall).
15 * 2013-10-28 [ORTE 0.3.4 released](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/orte-0.3.4/).
16 It features Android support.
17 * 2013-10-05 We are preparing a new release that will feature Android
18 support. Stay tuned and/or test the version from our
19 [git repository](http://sourceforge.net/p/orte/orte/ci/master/tree/).
21 [ORTE 0.3.3 released](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/orte-0.3.3/).
22 This is mostly a bugfix release.

32 * [Data-Distribution Service (DDS) related standards](http://www.omg.org/spec/#DDS)

35 * [The Real-time Publish-Subscribe Wire Protocol (DDSI-RTPS)](http://www.omg.org/spec/DDSI-RTPS/)
36 – this is a newer version of the protocol implemented by ORTE.
37 * [[Real Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) 1.0|rtps1.2.pdf]] – ORTE
38 implements this version of the protocol.
42 ORTE can be downloaded from
43 [a project page at SourceForge.net](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/).
45 Note that [old releases](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51629&package_id=108732) are located elsewhere.

61 * [OpenDDS](http://www.opendds.org)
63 OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object
64 Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for
65 Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE (ADAPTIVE
66 Communication Environment) abstraction layer to provide platform
67 portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO (The ACE
68 Orb), such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS
69 Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).
73 The distribution provides an open-source Java-based DDS-DCPS
74 implementation. The purpose of this implementation is pedagogical

78 * [SQLbusRT](http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlbusrt) is a software
79 package which enables SQL in a publish subscribe environment with
80 real time provisions. The software package finds it usage in:
82 * Real time measuring environments (data acquisition),
83 * Fast messaging systems,
84 * Real time database in machine automation, and SCADA systems
86 * Military battlesystems
89 * [PyPubSub](http://pypubsub.sourceforge.net/) (short for Python based
90 Publish Subscribe) is a framework for implementing a publish
91 subscribe mechanism into a Python application.
95 We are aware of the following uses of ORTE:
99 * ORTE as core message exchange mechanism in an aerodynamic wind
100 tunnel automation project, for one of the main windtunnel
101 facilities of the world. (see <http://www.dnw.aero> for more
104 * ORTE as message exchange mechanism for the Dutch government: in
105 the automation facility for public water level management in the
106 Netherlands. For an example, see
