Abstract
This paper presents an integration of the Actor model in Emfrp, a functional reactive programming language designed for resource constrained embedded systems. In this integration, actors not only express nodes that represent time-varying values, but also present communication mechanism. The integration provides a higher-level view of the internal representation of nodes, representations of time-varying values, as well as an actor-based inter-device communication mechanism.
