   Synchronous

• Synchronous Programming Language (Site) - Growing article, with links to many related topics. Wikipedia.
• The Synchronous Group (Site) - Researches synchronous languages and reactive systems, team at Verimag laboratory, University of Grenoble, France. Presentation, people, research topics, language design, publications, tools.
• The Multi-Paradigm Synchronous Programming Language LEA (Site) - 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.
• SyncCharts (Site) - 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 (Site) - For this declarative language, for realtime uses: reactive, embedded systems. Synchronous languages are opposite to the asynchronous types, as in C, Ada. Five chapters.
• The Esterel Synchronous Programming Language: Design, Semantics, Implementation (Site) - 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]
• Averest (Site) - 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).
• Unification of Synchronous and Asynchronous Models for Parallel Programming Languages (Site) - Thesis proposing parallel language, based on C, that lets programmers explicitly specify and manage parallelism on a broad class of architectures. [Purdue University]
• Lustre (Site) - 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]
• Design Methods for Reactive Systems: Yourdon, Statemate, and the UML (Site) - 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]
