Abstract
This chapter introduces the notion of process, which constitutes together with signals the basic objects of the Signal language. First, Sect. 4.1 defines this notion. Then, in a similar way as for signals, the primitive operators of the language that are applied to processes are presented in Sect. 4.2. Finally, Sect. 4.3 addresses the notational aspects with an illustrative example.
