-ORTE is an open source C++ implementation of the Object Management
-Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS).
+[[!toc levels=1]]
+
+The Open Real-Time Ethernet (ORTE) is open source implementation of
+RTPS communication protocol. RTPS is new application layer protocol
+targeted to real-time communication area, which is build on the top of
+standard UDP stack. Since there are many TCP/IP stack implementations
+under many operating systems and RTPS protocol does not have any other
+special HW/SW requirements, it should be easily ported to many HW/SW
+target platforms. Because it uses only UDP protocol, it retains
+control of timing and reliability.
+
+## News
+
+* 2012-08-15
+ [ORTE 0.3.3 released](https://sourceforge.net/projects/orte/files/orte-0.3.3/).
+ This is mostly a bugfix release.
+
+## Introduction
+
+In the ORTE project we are developing communication middleware under
+the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-Time Systems
+specification (OMG Document formal/07-01-01). The specification
+defines a service for efficiently distributing application data
+between participants in a distributed application.
+
+The recently-adopted DDS specification is divided into two components.
+First defines an Application Level Interface and behavior of a DDS
+that supports Data-Centric Publish-Subscribe (DCPS) in real-time
+systems. Second optional Data Local Reconstruction Layer (DLRL) allows
+distributed data to be shared by local objects located remotely from
+each other as if the data were local. The DLRL is built on top of the
+DCPS layer.
+
+The DDS specification also includes a platform specific mapping to IDL
+and therefore an application using DDS is able to switch among DDS
+implementations with only a re-compile. DDS therefore addresses
+'application portability.'
+
+The specification does not address the protocol used by the
+implementation to exchange messages over transports such as
+TCP/UDP/IP, so different implementations of DDS will not interoperate
+with each other unless vendor-specific “bridges” are provided.
+
+One of the transport protocol suitable for DDS communication is
+Real-Time Pusblish Subscribe (RTPS) wire protocol defined by OMG (OMG
+document formal/06-08-02). The RTPS was specifically developed to
+support the unique requirements of data-distributions systems. It's a
+field proven technology that is deployed in thousands of industrial
+devices.

+
+ OpenDDS is an open-source C++ implementation of the Object
+ Management Group's specification "Data Distribution Service for
+ Real-time Systems". OpenDDS is built on the ACE (ADAPTIVE
+ Communication Environment) abstraction layer to provide platform
+ portability. OpenDDS also leverages capabilities of TAO (The ACE
+ Orb), such as its IDL compiler and as the basis of the OpenDDS DCPS
+ Information Repository (DCPSInfoRepo).

+
+ The distribution provides an open-source Java-based DDS-DCPS
+ implementation. The purpose of this implementation is pedagogical
+ and demontrations

+* [SQLbusRT](http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlbusrt) is a software
+ package which enables SQL in a publish subscribe environment with
+ real time provisions. The software package finds it usage in:
+
+ * Real time measuring environments (data acquisition),
+ * Fast messaging systems,
+ * Real time database in machine automation, and SCADA systems
+ * Medical systems
+ * Military battlesystems
+
+
+* [PyPubSub](http://pypubsub.sourceforge.net/) (short for Python based
+ Publish Subscribe) is a framework for implementing a publish
+ subscribe mechanism into a Python application.
