Data flow representations are used increasingly as a formal modeling tool for the specification of systems. While we often think of systems in this form, developers have been reluctant to implement data flow constructs directly because languages and operating systems have traditionally not encouraged (or supported) such an approach. This paper describes the use of data flow structures for system analysis and a set of facilities that make direct implementation of data flow convenient and natural.
