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.

60 OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object
61 Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for
62 Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE (ADAPTIVE
63 Communication Environment) abstraction layer to provide platform
64 portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO (The ACE
65 Orb), such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS
66 Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).
70 The distribution provides an open-source Java-based DDS-DCPS
71 implementation. The purpose of this implementation is pedagogical

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