Hi Chris (and Christopher): <br><br>Just a philosophical question: wouldn't it be more a director-level component that would deal with "global" properties of a workflow/model? In my mind, actors are those selfish little guys who don't care about the rest of the world: just what the read, compute, and what they write. Never mind the predecessor, successor actors ... <br>
(of course I understand that at the implementation level, they might "know" much more)<br><br>Having said that, attaching the code (or hooks for it) for semantic type checking etc. to the actor itself also seems quite neat, as it allows a more object-centric, localized control, where each actor can "say" how much it "likes" the connections being made to/from it...<br>

Take a look at some of the higher order component actors<br>
in ptolemy/actor/lib/hoc.<br>
<br>
ApplyFunction.java is a good place to start.<br>
MultiInstanceComposite is another one.<br>
<br>

Man-Kit Leung and people from Bosch are doing something somewhat<br>
similar with Properties, see the ptolemy/data/properties work.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

Hi,<br>
I would like to create an actor that when connected to other actors<br>
will inspect the actors it is connected to and show the user the set<br>
of actors that could fulfill this connection based on the Semantic<br>
info.<br>
The user would be able to select from this set, and the actor would be<br>
internally created in my connector actor and connected to the ports.<br>
Is there an example of an actor that does this internal construction<br>
and connection of actor ports?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Chris<br>
