FrTime question

This is a discussion on FrTime question within the Scheme forums in Programming Languages category; I apologize in advance if there's a better forum to ask this question on -- if so, please point me there. I downloaded the new PLT Scheme to check out FrTime and found the documentation doesn't address any of the questions I tend to have about such systems. How are the changes propagated in the system? When do new values become visible? Do changes propagate depth-first or breadth-first? Has this been thought out for FrTime or is it doing something different? Etc.. I haven't looked through the sources yet, but if someone can answer these questions, or point me to ...

Default FrTime question

I apologize in advance if there's a better forum to ask this question
on -- if so, please point me there.

I downloaded the new PLT Scheme to check out FrTime and found the
documentation doesn't address any of the questions I tend to have
about such systems. How are the changes propagated in the system? When
do new values become visible? Do changes propagate depth-first or
breadth-first? Has this been thought out for FrTime or is it doing
something different? Etc..

I haven't looked through the sources yet, but if someone can answer
these questions, or point me to where I might find the answers, I'd
appreciate it.

You're likely to get the most comprehensive responses on the PLT Scheme
mailing list:

Some of the papers about FrTime might provide more information:

"Embedding Dynamic Dataflow in a Call-by-Value Language":
http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publicat...hed/ck-frtime/

Some other papers are linked from this page:

Also relevant, Greg Cooper's dissertation:
"Integrating Dataflow Evaluation with a Practical Higher-Order
Call-by-Value Language"
