He invented and studied Kahn process networks (with Dave MacQueen) back in the 70's. Since then many computer scientists have invented a whole universe of dataflow models, many of which are base on Kahn's early work. In the late 80's Edward Lee began studying dataflow models and has published some fundamental papers in the field. His research group is responsible for the Ptolemy project which is a graphical programming environment that permits programming in a mixture of dataflow-ish models. http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~eal/ Related to dataflow programming is the work on the pi calculus, begun by Robin Milner (the inventer of ML) in the early 80's. The goal of pi calculus research is to come up with a simple unifying model of concurrent programming, similar to the lambda calculus for sequential programming. Many pi calculus related links have been assembled at http://lamp.epfl.ch/mobility/ khoros might be interesting, but its proprietary,. http://www.khoral.com/ papers / citations “DATAFLOW PROCESS NETWORKS” Edward A.
