Can anyone point me to some existing work on using Erlang for stream processing / dataflow programming? I'm trying to write functions that take a continuous binary stream and produce a second stream as output, where multiple streams can be composed in various ways, etc.

Many thanks.

I recommend that you google the words "erlang" and "middle-man". Middle-man processes are great for stream processing in Erlang, and especially if you have different processing steps that you want to combine.

http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2004-May/012253.html is perhaps one of the better explanations of the concept.

BR,
