Abstract
This paper formalizes a data-flow component model specifically designed for building real-time interactive scientific visualization applications. The advantages sought in this model are performance, coherence and application design assistance. The core of the article deals with the interpretation of a property and constraint based user specification to generate a concrete assembly based on our component model. To fulfill one or many coherence constraints simultaneously, the application graph is processed, particularly to find the optimal locations of filtering objects called regulators. The automatic selection and inter-connection of connectors in order to maintain the requested coherences and the highest performance possible is also part of the process.
