Using Interfaces in Actor Framework: Design Implications by Allen Smith
The architecture of an actor system has three components: what the actors do, what messages they send, and what routes exist between them. However, in Actor Framework, the messages in a system are intimately coupled to the recipients, not the senders, which tends to overemphasize the individual actors. Interfaces, new in LabVIEW 2020, break this coupling, and elevate messages to first class citizens. This presentation will discuss how interfaces let us view the message network as a distinct design entity, and explore some ways we can use that insight to strengthen our designs.
