Event-driven control program models running on embedded systems

Abstract

The main subject of this paper is demonstrating and comparing event-driven real-time control program models running on embedded systems. The paper do not deal with all possibilities of programming models, only with most important variations based on writer's opinion. The reader can find the advantages and disadvantages of each demonstrated models. The presented models are: sequential model, cooperative multitasking, traditional and hierarchical event-driven system, and active object computing model.
