Abstract :
The Vesicular Dataflow (VDF) model is presented in the paper. The VDF model has been formulated to introduce a way of storing and retrieving information and hence to reduce the main drawback of the basic DF model. Tokens can be stored in vesicles in the VDF model and then distributed in non-deterministic way. State-dependent computations and global variables can be expressed in the dataflow manner. Informal definition of the VDF model and some simple applications are covered by the paper
