Actors are a suitable abstraction to manage concurrency in realtime applications. Meta-level programming can help to separate real-time concerns from application concerns. We use reflection to transform passive objects into active objects. Then we extend the meta-level implementation of the actors

We give formal semantics for a distributed concurrent object-oriented real-time programming language based on a variant of the actor model which includes an extention enabling the specification of time constraints on messageinvocation. Real-time semantics must capture both the qualitative

This paper proposes a novel approach --SART- to the development of real-time systems which is based on super actors, i.e., actors whose behaviour is modelled by statecharts. SART borrows structural concepts from known methods for reactive systems like ROOM and UML-RT, and favours ease

This paper presents a paradigm for automatically generating complete camera specifications for capturing events in virtual 3D environments in real-time. We describe a fully implemented system, called the Virtual Cinematographer, and demonstrate its application in a virtual "party" setting

GLOBECOM, Dallas, Texas, November I989 completely addressed, either in the deterministic scheduling literature or in the multiprocessor systems literature. This paper will attempt to define these. Real-time digital signal processing often requires multiple processors. We assume the description

in order to achieve energy-efficient and reliable communication. Moreover, the protocols must honor the application-specific real-time delay bounds for the effectiveness of the actors in WSAN. In this paper, we propose a new real-time coordination and routing (RCR) framework for WSAN. It addresses

streams at its own rate. The dynamic starting and stopping of jobs necessitates the usage of self-timed schedules (STSs). By modeling job implementations using multirate data flow (MRDF) graph semantics, real-time analysis can be performed. Traditionally, temporal analysis of STSs for MRDF graphs only

This document describes a new solution to the problem of visualizing real-time data. Nowadays eld-bus systems are used to connect actors, sensors and monitoring computers. A new time-triggered eld-bus system was been developed. Therefore a visualisation software was designed and implemented

We present a coordination language and its semantics for specification and implementation of object-oriented realtime systems. Real-time systems operate under real-time constraints, and our language supports expression thereof. In our language, a system is modeled by two separate but complementary

Abstract. A new collision detection and response algorithm for axis aligned bound box (AABB) is here presented. It is perfect visually also in very complex scenarios and extremely efficient on real-time application. It was tested for interaction with complex scene geometry made of convex polygons
