To allow for processing of data-streams in interactive multimedia-based applications, we propose a data-flow framework. Individual processing modules are connected through "wire" objects. The wire assumes all responsibilities for data transfer and scheduling, which drastically reduces the complexity of the processing modules. We describe the overall architecture, module API, and design of the wire. We further discuss integration into event-driven systems, and demonstrate the flexibility of this approach with tiny, but operational application scripts.
