A component model for use in a time sensitive embedded application. The
system includes an event-generating software component that can generate
an event notification in response to an event. It also includes a
listener software component that can receive an event notification.
Further, it includes an event transmission object that can facilitate
transmission of an event notification from an event-generating software
component to a listener software component. The event transmission object
passes a primitive data type parameter that conveys data describing an
event generated by said event-generating software component to a listener
software component.
