Bridging data distribution services domains based on discovery data

摘要

Bridging data distributed service (DDS) domains in a networked system based on discovery data is provided. Each DDS domain includes DDS software applications capable of publishing data and subscribing to data. A DDS domain bridge is communicatively coupled with the DDS software applications of both DDS domains. The DDS domain bridge monitors discovery data provided by the DDS software applications for a topic name, a topic type, and/or QoS properties. The DDS domain bridge includes creation rules and enabling rules controlling input/output DDS dataflow objects. Based on the state of the DDS dataflow objects set by the rules, uni- or bi-directional DDS dataflow is established between the input and output DDS dataflow objects enabling data propagation between DDS software applications of DDS domains.
