The Haskell Ports Library (HPL)
|
|
|
|
Ports are an abstraction for modelling variables whose values evolve over time
|
|
without the need to resort to mutable variable, such as IORefs. More precisely,
|
|
a port represents all values that a time-dependent variable successively takes
|
|
as a stream, where each element of the stream corresponds to a state change -
|
|
we can also say that a port represents a time series. Moreover, a port supports
|
|
concurrent construction of the time series, or stream of values.
