The publish-subscribe approach to distributed communications is a generic mechanism that can be employed by many different types of systems. The DCPS model described here extends the publish-subscribe model to address the needs of real-time, data-critical applications. It provides standardized mechanisms, known as Quality of Service Policies, that allow application developers to configure how communications occur, to limit resources used by the middleware, to detect system incompatibilities and setup error handling routines.
