Data Flow Program Graphs (original) (raw)

Data flow languages, as a subclass of applicative languages, provide unique advantages in programming through the graphical representation of subprograms. This article explores the fundamental characteristics of data flow program graphs, emphasizing their ability to represent program actions using a data availability firing rule and facilitate concurrent execution of modular components. By enabling a clear understanding of the interactions and dependencies among functions, data flow languages enhance the intellectual manageability of complex programming tasks.
