I am very pleased to play even a small part in the publication of
this book on the SIGNAL language and its environment POLYCHRONY. I
am sure it will be a s- ni?cant milestone in the development of the
SIGNAL language, of synchronous computing in general, and of the
data?ow approach to computation. In data?ow, the computation takes
place in a producer-consumer network of - dependent processing
stations. Data travels in streams and is transformed as these
streams pass through the processing stations (often called ?lters).
Data?ow is an attractive model for many reasons, not least because
it corresponds to the way p-
duction,transportation,andcommunicationare typicallyorganizedin the
real world (outside cyberspace). I myself stumbled into data?ow
almost against my will. In the mid-1970s, Ed Ashcroft and I set out
to design a "super" structured programming language that, we hoped,
would radically simplify proving assertions about programs. In the
end, we decided that it had to be declarative. However, we also
were determined that iterative algorithms could be expressed
directly, without circumlocutions such as the use of a
tail-recursive function. The language that resulted, which we named
LUCID, was much less traditional then we would have liked. LUCID
statements are equations in a kind of executable temporallogic
thatspecifythe (time)sequencesof variablesinvolvedin aniteration.
