3 The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is an open source implementation of
4 Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) communication protocol. RTPS is new
5 application layer protocol targeted to real-time communication area,
6 which is build on the top of standard UDP stack. Since there are many
7 TCP/IP stack implementations under many operating systems and RTPS
8 protocol does not have any other special HW/SW requirements, it should
9 be easily ported to many HW/SW target platforms. Because it uses only
10 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.

59 OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object
60 Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for
61 Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE (ADAPTIVE
62 Communication Environment) abstraction layer to provide platform
63 portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO (The ACE
64 Orb), such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS
65 Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).
69 The distribution provides an open-source Java-based DDS-DCPS
70 implementation. The purpose of this implementation is pedagogical
72 <http://www-adele.imag.fr/users/Didier.Donsez/dev/dds/readme.html>.
74 * [SQLbusRT](http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlbusrt) is a software
75 package which enables SQL in a publish subscribe environment with
76 real time provisions. The software package finds it usage in:
78 * Real time measuring environments (data acquisition),
79 * Fast messaging systems,
80 * Real time database in machine automation, and SCADA systems
82 * Military battlesystems
85 * [PyPubSub](http://pypubsub.sourceforge.net/) (short for Python based
86 Publish Subscribe) is a framework for implementing a publish
87 subscribe mechanism into a Python application.
91 We are aware of the following uses of ORTE:
95 * ORTE as core message exchange mechanism in an aerodynamic wind
96 tunnel automation project, for one of the main windtunnel
97 facilities of the world. (see <http://www.dnw.aero> for more
100 * ORTE as message exchange mechanism for the Dutch government: in
101 the automation facility for public water level management in the
102 Netherlands. For an example, see
