“RTI middleware with Ada integration is helping our developers build complex applications that require real-time data availability and response across large distributed systems,” said Thomas Jungefeldt, senior systems engineer, Saab Systems, Naval Systems Division. “A major advantage of this approach is our ability to support and develop applications in a heterogeneous COTS-based environment requiring simple and straightforward integration of legacy code with newly developed systems.”
“Adoption of the DDS standard is growing across a wide range of real-time distributed environments from desktop to embedded devices, particularly in defense and aerospace applications,”
“The demand for DDS support from the Ada community is continuing to grow,” explained David Barnett, vice president of Product Management at RTI. “AdaCore’s GNAT Pro is available on more platforms than any other Ada technology, and we are excited to be the first to allow distributed application developers to take advantage of Ada technology in conjunction with RTI Data Distribution Service and the DDS standard.”
