Abstract

This paper analyses experiments with the SIGNAL programming environment for the design of safety-critical systems, with an emphasis on predictable behaviour. This environment is based upon a data-flow language and a synchronous model; the composition of interacting sub-systems and tasking of data-flow processes do not introduce unpredictability. It offers integrated tools for transformations and analysis. The practical relevance of the synchronous model and methodology is illustrated with a focus on predictabilty by examples gathered from a spectrum of experiments (robot vision, production cell control and power transformer control).
