Abstract :
A qualitative description and a mathematical definition of the data-flow Petri-net model are presented. The data-flow Petri nets are used for the data-flow multiprocessor operation. They can advantageously replace flow graphs for validation, simulation, and scheduling. In the functional assembler language used, the source program describes the function to be processed and does not specify all the steps as do classical assemblers. An application for the control of a telemanipulator robot with image processing is given
