Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for defining push-based standard sequence operators based on respective duals of corresponding pull-based standard sequence operators. A push-based application program interface (API) may be defined based on mathematical duals of a corresponding pull-based API. The push-based API may include a library of routines, which further may include push-based standard sequence operators defined based on deriving mathematical duals of corresponding pull-based standard sequence operators. A protocol for processing a push-based collection may be defined as a mathematical dual of a protocol for processing a pull-based collection. In various embodiments, mathematical duality with respect to synchronous, pull-based, collections may be exploited to define operators for processing asynchronous push-based collections.
