Motivation: Embedded systems usually have various kinds of sensors and actuators. These sensors and actuators are all either directly or indirectly connected to a control unit. Although many of the sensors and actuators look quite different, their behavior is similar enough to structure them into a pattern. The pattern shows how to specify the sensors and actuators for a system, including attributes and operations. The Actuator-Sensor pattern uses a pull mechanism (explicit request for information)for PassiveSensors and a push mechanism (broadcast of information) for the ActiveSensors.
