OCI to feature its openDDS modeling tools at US Navy 2011 Opportunity Forum

May 19, 2011 - PRLog -- OCI announced that it will be exhibiting and presenting at the Navy 2011 Opportunity Forum from June 6th through the 8th at the Regency Hyatt in Crystal City VA. This event is described as the Navy's "strategic resource for open innovation." The event also includes two days of pre-conference briefings by Navy Program Managers and selected Primes covering their key technologies and requirements. There will also be a full schedule of one-on-one meetings between the innovators and their prospective users.
OCI was selected to participate in this invitation only, Navy sponsored event as a result of winning an SBIR project commencing in 2010 to develop open source modeling and code generation tools for a DDS messaging framework. The initial target systems will be used for NAVAIR AWACS mission simulation. The tools were first released in March of this year and an OCI team continues to add capabilities. The tools are plug-ins to the popular open source Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF). OCI has already used these tools with DDS on an unrelated financial services project to obtain substantial productivity gains. Modeling tools reduce the time to describe and develop complex systems. By means of the tool's built-in checking the generated code is free of the usual programming errors.
The project also included functional expansion of OCI's open source implementation of the OMG Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems, known as OpenDDS, and the inclusion of some management tools, which are also existing well-tested open source products in their own right.
Dr. Ebrahim Moshiri, the CEO of OCI commented that "our company goal has always been to offer our clients, by means of an open source approach, tailored, robust systems that are fast to market and have the lowest overall cost of ownership. Nowhere is this more important than the Nation's defense. We are honored to be engaged in this activity."
