               ABSTRACT

               Dataflow, as opposed to  control  flow,  is  an  idea
               which promises to free computing from the confines of
               the von Neumann machine.  Experience of other  multi-
               processor  architectures  has taught us that program-
               ming considerations must be a decisive factor  choos-
               ing  in  new  machine organisations.  We will discuss
               dataflow languages as well as  dataflow  architecture
               and come to the conclusion that Lucid (surprise!), or
               something  like  it,  is  the  dataflow   programming
               language.
