Title: The Actor Model applied to the Raspberry Pi and the Embedded Domain
Proposer: omer_kilic
Type: Presentation
Duration: 45 minutes
Description:
The Actor Model has interesting properties that could be used for dealing with complexities posed by modern embedded systems. Using actors as compositional units to describe these systems is a new proposal which stands out and challenges conventional approaches.
This talk will demonstrate how, creating a layered architecture for hardware modules and partitioning up complex systems in smaller units, testing becomes much easier, runtime errors are contained, and the architecture becomes maintainable.
Talk objectives: Provide an overview of the embedded systems design methodologies and introduce Erlang Embedded, a new proposal to deal with the issues we face in today's complex embedded systems.
Target audience: Hardware and software engineers interested in designing the next generation of concurrent, distributed embedded systems.
