Advanced Features/Feedback Loops

[alfa256]

Explanation required.

There is no heading for this - should it be under Flow Features? By the way, are you asking about loop topologies in networks? If so, I can give it a try.

It's in https://github.com/flowbased/flowbased.org/wiki/Concepts too, so it's up to you., I didn't add that item to the file but @trustmaster .

Hi Vladimir,

What did you have in mind?

Cheers,

Paul

Right, I meant "Loop type networks" in terms of the book and components with outputs looped back to inputs. I thought this is important since most dataflow systems don't allow it, while FBP uses them to implement interesting stuff like iterative algos, recursive algos and responsive UIs.

OK, got it! I'll try to come up with something over the next few days. Not
sure about recursive though - I raised that as an issue already!

Regards,

Paul

Loop-type networks are quite common when building interactive applications (see the Flux pattern from Facebook) as well as with when reading a hierarchical file system.

Here is one example:

Hi Henri,

You're right - I was quoting someone else. I'll change or drop that
statement!

Thanks,

Paul

Here http://app.flowhub.io/#example/1d42f66f5cc4614df935 is one example:

I think we can close this one as nobody seems to have changed the section on Feedback loops recently...?

[trustmaster]

@jpaulm just being lazy or busy. Feel free to update the section and close this issue then.

Looks like the section on Feedback loops is fairly stable... (?)
