US Patent 10127022 Tools and methods for real-time dataflow programming language

A dataflow programming language can be used to express reactive dataflow programs that can be used in pattern-driven real-time data analysis. One or more tools are provided for the dataflow programming language for checking syntactic and semantic correctness, checking logical correctness, debugging, translation of source code into a secure, portable format (e.g., packaged code), translation of source code (or packaged code) into platform-specific code, batch-mode interpretation, interactive interpretation, simulation and visualization of the dataflow environment, remote execution, monitoring, or any combination of these. These tools embody a method of developing, debugging, and deploying a dataflow graph device.
