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 * 2013-10-28 [ORTE 0.3.4 released](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/orte-0.3.4/).
15 It features Android support.
16 * 2013-10-05 We are preparing a new release that will feature Android
17 support. Stay tuned and/or test the version from our
18 [git repository](http://sourceforge.net/p/orte/orte/ci/master/tree/).
20 [ORTE 0.3.3 released](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/orte-0.3.3/).
21 This is mostly a bugfix release.

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

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