DDS is a replacement for Links & Nodes, which is currently used for data communication between different software. DDS uses the concept of dynamic discovery to find publishers and subscribers in a global data space.

The Software Development team has developed a higher-level API to use/switch between different implementations of DDS (rti-connext, cyclone, vortex) without changing the interface.

== Additional Help ==

There are very good tutorials available for DDS. Always ensure that you are using the Modern C++11 languange when working with tutorials. Other languages supported are for example the non-standardized C++ API or pure C.
