The proliferation of diverse software systems within modern vehicles introduces critical interoperability problems from incompatible protocols, standards and data formats, resulting in costly development delays. System interoperability requires accurate, instant data exchange between software components. Ineffective system communication results in suboptimal performance, or worse, safety-critical failures. Deploying a data-centric communication model via DDS facilitates interoperability within vehicle architectures. The Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard enables data interoperability by decoupling the data from the applications, providing flexibility, portability and scalability. This session will discuss data centricity and a data-oriented communication architecture that enables software components to be developed independently and updated incrementally.

• Interoperability challenges in modern vehicle architecture
• Fundamentals of a data-centric architecture
• Introduction to the DDS standard
