13 p. ; DDS is a recent specification aimed at providing high-performance publisher/subscriber middleware solutions. Despite being a very powerful flexible technology, it may prove complex to use, especially for the inexperienced. This work provides some guidelines for connecting software components that represent a new generation of automation devices (such as PLCs, IPCs and robots) using Data Distribution Service (DDS) as a virtual software bus. More specifically, it presents the design of a DDS-based component, the so-called Automation Component, and discusses how to map different traffic patterns using DDS entities exploiting the wealth of QoS management mechanisms provided by the DDS specification. A case study demonstrates the creation of factory automation applications out of software components that encapsulate independent stations. ; This work has been financed in part by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) under project DPI2012-37806-C02-01; by the Basque Government through the S-PE11UN061 SAIOTEK project and by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) through grant EHU11/35.
