- CSL SEMINAR
-
- THE SYNCHRONOUS DATAFLOW PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE LUSTRE
- Nicolas Halbwachs
- IMAG Institute and Stanford University
-
- 4:00 Monday, Feb. 1, SRI International Bldg. E, Rm EJ228
-
- The language Lustre is a synchronous dataflow language designed
- for programming reactive systems --- such as automatic control
- and monitoring systems --- as well as for describing hardware.
- The dataflow aspect of Lustre makes it very close to usual
- description tools in these domains (block-diagrams, networks of
- operators, analog schemas, ...) and its synchronous interpretation
- makes it well suited for handling time in programs. Moreover, this
- synchronous interpretation allows it to be compiled into an
- efficient sequential code, whose control structure is a finite
- automaton synthesized by the compiler. Finally, the Lustre may be
- viewed as a temporal logic. Therefore the language can be used for
- writing programs and for expressing program properties. This results
- in an original program verification methodology.

- NOTE FOR VISITORS TO SRI:
-
- Please arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to sign in and be
- shown to the conference room. SRI is located at 333 Ravenswood Ave.
- in Menlo Park. Visitors may park in the visitors lot in front of
- Building A or E. They should sign in at the lobby of Building E and
- wait to be escorted to the meeting room.
-
- IMPORTANT: Attendance is open, but visitors from certain countries
- designated by the US government must make arrangements in advance.
- If you have not already made such arrangements before your arrival,
- admission to the seminar will be denied. If you believe you may be
- from one of these countries and if you wish to make arrangements to
