Averest - http://www.averest.org/
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). |
Design Methods for Reactive Systems: Yourdon, Statemate, and the UML - http://textbooks.elsevier.com/web/product_details.aspx?isbn=9781558607552
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] |
Lustre - http://www-verimag.imag.fr/SYNCHRONE/index.php?page=lang-design
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] |
SyncCharts - http://www.i3s.unice.fr/~map/WEBSPORTS/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. |
Synchronous Programming Language - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_programming_language
Growing article, with links to many related topics. Wikipedia. |
The Esterel Synchronous Programming Language: Design, Semantics, Implementation - http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/berry92esterel.html
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] |
The Multi-Paradigm Synchronous Programming Language LEA - http://www.ais.fraunhofer.de/~ap/papers/LEA.pdf
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. |
The Synchronous Group - http://www-verimag.imag.fr/SYNCHRONE/
Researches synchronous languages and reactive systems, team at Verimag laboratory, University of Grenoble, France. Presentation, people, research topics, language design, publications, tools. |
The Synchronous Programming Language Signal: A Tutorial - http://www.irisa.fr/espresso/source/logiciels/SignalPrimer.pdf
For this declarative language, for realtime uses: reactive, embedded systems. Synchronous languages are opposite to the asynchronous types, as in C, Ada. Five chapters. |
Unification of Synchronous and Asynchronous Models for Parallel Programming Languages - http://cobweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~hankd/CARP/XPC/paper.html
Thesis proposing parallel language, based on C, that lets programmers explicitly specify and manage parallelism on a broad class of architectures. [Purdue University] |
