Optimizing Automotive Model-Based Design with Simulink, DDS, and DDS Blockset

Simulink^® enables users to model and simulate different time-dependent systems before going into production. To accelerate the development cycle, automotive engineers are increasingly incorporating real-world data streams directly into models from the earliest stages. Data Distribution Service (DDS) is a publish/subscribe middleware used in production-grade automotive distributed systems that provides the data backbone for systems to be accurately modeled with the same inputs and outputs from real-world conditions through Quality of Service (QoS) configuration. DDS Blockset provides apps and blocks for modeling and simulating software applications. DDS blocks can be added to Simulink models, enabling the connection to other components through the DDS communication framework. This allows for the introduction of QoS into the earliest phase, to reduce project risks and costs of system development. Get an introduction to DDS and learn how to work with DDS Blockset to simulate and implement real-time communications between Simulink applications and other DDS-based applications.
