There are a couple of stream-oriented languages you should check out: Lucid, which I think was first developed at SRI, and SIGNAL, developed at INRIA, France by Benveniste, Le Guernic, and others. >In trying to work out these ideas, I've run into some nasty problems of >semantics, particularly when combining series having different time bases. >How to make a reasonably efficient implementation is not obvious either. Given this, you'll be more interested in the SIGNAL work, I think, which deals quite a bit with different time bases and how to determine whether systems with different time bases are consistent. -- Joe Buck jbuck@ohm.berkeley.edu
