We present the design of S-Net, a coordination language and component technology based on stream processing. S-Net achieves a near-complete separation between application code, written in a conventional programming language, and coordination code written in S-Net itself. S-Net boxes integrate existing sequential code as stream-processing components into streaming networks, whose construction is based on algebraic formulae built out of four network combinators. Subtyping on the level of boxes and networks and a tailor-made inheritance mechanism achieve flexible software reuse.
S-Net REF is a declarative coordination language.
