A regression model for the non-epidemic level of influenza-like syndrome has been estimated from the 55,200 cases collected between October 1984 and August 1988 using the French Communicable Diseases Computer Network. The start of a major epidemic in 1988-89 was detected early. The size of the epidemic, for the entire country, was estimated at approximatively 4.3 million cases. The excess cost of sick-leave, among those of working age, was estimated at $86 million. (American Journal of Public Health, January 1991, 81:97-99)

Signal processing applications are bound by severe constraints: efficiency an reliability. To obey these constraints two main approaches exist: the synchronous approach and the asynchronous one. But, in practice, each style tends to be weak where the other is strong. Work presented in this paper is part of a project that aims at combining the respective advantages of these methods, in order to make programming of large signal processing applications easier with a run-time system close to the standard communicating sequential processes (CSP) model.

We present in this paper a new approach to the problem of programming complex real-time applications on distributed heterogeneous architectures. Assuming that the synchronous and asynchronous models have both significant advantages, we propose to merge them in a single framework. Indeed, the synchronous model provides the properest formal context to reason about time, when the asynchronous approach corresponds to a very attractive execution model.
