Albert Benveniste. "Embedded system design with the Polychronous paradigm". Talk or presentation, 14, April, 2009.

Abstract
While the term of synchronous languages has largely been responsible for the success of the concept, it also has resulted in misleadings regarding what they are. In fact, the synchronous paradigm has much wider applicability and is much more flexible than its popular "round based MoC" is supposed to make it. This is why Paul Le Guernic has decided to promote the (less overloaded but also more cryptic) term of Polychrony instead. But keep cool: this talk is indeed about synchronous languages. It will just be a somehow heterodox view of them. Instead of highlighting simplicity (following Paul Caspi and Nicolas Halbwachs), I shall highlight power and flexibility. I do not claim I shall present the right view, but am sure this view will complement in a useful way everything you always wanted to know about synchronous languages...
