Abstract
Reactive systems are systems that maintain an ongoing interaction
with their environment, activated by receiving input events from the
environment and producing output events in response. Modern programming
languages designed to program such systems use a paradigm based on the
notions of instants and activations. We describe a library for Standard
ML that provides basic primitives for programming reactive systems. The
library is a low level system upon which more sophisticated reactive
behaviors can be built, which provides a convenient framework for
prototyping extensions to existing reactive languages
