Reconfigurable real-time design with port-based actor

This paper proposes a reconfigurable real-time application design method with port-based Actor to make real-time software design reusable and flexible. Actor is composed by basic components in real-time system. Port-based Actor model is presented. Properties, status and work rules of four kind of ports used to build Actor are discussed as focus. A real-time data acquisition and display application is designed to prove the feasibility of this method.
