Abstract
A compositional model referred to as a source-target pattern for connecting processes into process networks in a general, flexible, and extensible manner is provided. The model allows common process algebra constructs to be combined with data flow networks to form process networks. Process algebraic operations may be expressed in terms of the compositional model to form data flow networks that provide fully interoperable process algebraic operations between processes.
