Abstract
We suggest a solution for iterative processing in data flow diagrams based on the notion of a conditional data flow switch, and a specialized iterative construct based on pattern matching for vectors and matrices. Both of these constructs can be seamlessly incorporated into V, a data-flow visual programming language. We demonstrate how these constructs may be used to reveal the spatial/temporal dualism of data streams
