The Esterel Synchronous Programming Language: Design, Semantics, Implementation
Abstract on paper on reactive kernels making the central, hardest part of reactive systems; Esterel is not full language, it is a program generator used to program reactive kernels as YACC programs parsers from grammars. [ResearchIndex]
Unification of Synchronous and Asynchronous Models for Parallel Programming Languages
Thesis proposing parallel language, based on C, that lets programmers explicitly specify and manage parallelism on a broad class of architectures. [Purdue University]
Synchronous Programming Language
Growing article, with links to many related topics. Wikipedia.
Design Methods for Reactive Systems: Yourdon, Statemate, and the UML
R.J. Wieringa shows how techniques and approaches of 3 most popular design methods can be mixed in flexible, problem-driven way; more examples on companion website. [Morgan Kaufmann]
The Synchronous Group
Researches synchronous languages and reactive systems, team at Verimag laboratory, University of Grenoble, France. Presentation, people, research topics, language design, publications, tools.
Lustre
Declarative synchronous language, kernel language of SCADE (was SAO+/SAGA) industrial environment developed by Esterel Technologies; a description is a set of equations that must be verified always by program variables. [Verimag]
The Multi-Paradigm Synchronous Programming Language LEA
To program synchronous reactive systems, made by merging 3 existing synchronous languages (Lustre, Esterel, Argos) by uniform translation rules to a common intermediate format called Boolean automata.
Averest
A set of tools for the specification, verification, and implementation of reactive systems. It includes a compiler for synchronous programs, a symbolic model checker, and a tool for hardware/software synthesis. Downloadable in binary form for Linux (i586).
SyncCharts
Graphical formalism (name of model, a syncChart is an instance) dedicated to reactive system modeling. Many features inherited from StateCharts, Argos. Brief introduction, related publications, distribution, downloads.
The Synchronous Programming Language Signal: A Tutorial
For this declarative language, for realtime uses: reactive, embedded systems. Synchronous languages are opposite to the asynchronous types, as in C, Ada. Five chapters.
