Abstract
Managing time and events is central to many different areas of computer science, from the circuits and software embedded in objects of all kinds to music creation and the simulation of physical phenomena. However, this subject has received little attention in traditional computer science. This lesson presents time and event models associated with new programming languages. It deals with the notions of the thickness of the instant, hierarchical and multiform time created by the repetition of events, and the relationship between real time and continuous time.
