Abstract

Reactive systems often require temporal and logical safety, concurrency and determinism. Several asynchronous or strong synchronous answers have been proposed to this problem. However, “asynchronous” languages such as CSP or CCS generally force the user to choose between determinism and concurrency. On the other hand, strong synchronous implementations are mainly sequential. The aim of this paper is to present a new paradigm for concurrent reactive programming, weak synchronism, responding to both concurrency and determinism.

This research was carried out in the context of the project SATURNE (Synchronous Any-Time coUpling for Real-time reasoNing dEsign) supported by the French Ministry of Defence (DRET).
