Temporal Engineering, as used by VS Merlot, is the temporal ordering, storing, and managing of system events based on their anticipated occurrence. This is a "logic before data" approach that greatly reduces the complexity of software.

VS Merlot is committed to furthering the field of Temporal Engineering through our products, training and educational resources. VS Merlot is headquartered on the campus of Louisiana Tech University and are working with staff, faculty and students in the development and support of our mission.

BREAKING THE TIME BARRIER

THE TEMPORAL ENGINEERING OF SOFTWARE

First published in 2009, this is the seminal work of Gordon Morrison, founder of VS Merlot, regarding the Temporal Engineering of Software. In this book Gordon lays out the foundation of the Temporal Engineering of Software through detailed step-by-step examples.

Gordon's patented COSA (Coherent Object System Architecture US Patent#6,345,387, cited by Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, Oracle, and other industry leaders) is used and explained in this book to demonstrate Temporal Engineering applied to software.

The thoroughly documented code files for the calculator example in this book can be found in our Temporal Engineering Education section of this web site.
