Hello Sven and all Blender devs,
@Sven: If I understand correctly, you are trying to implement a visual
programming language? I don't know how much bibliography you have and if you
need more but I thought I'd speak up a little bit : I work for the Openalea
project which implements a dataflow visual programming interface that lets us
build dataflows pretty much like the compositor in blender ( although not as
good-looking in my opinion, we have a taste for cheesy colors :) ). On the
business side (ie. not the GUI) the dataflow structure is seperated from the
dataflow evaluation algorithm. There are a few of them though the main ones are
the "lambda evaluation" and the "discrete time evaluation". Here are some
references:
An early presentation of the project :

(technical things start slide 8)An introduction that presents the lambda
evaluation and some other things
http://www.euroscipy.org/file/3707?vid=download (start slide 6)This one
(http://www.euroscipy.org/file/3707?vid=download, page 102) contains some more
details on the algo.
Have a look at their own references, you might find interesting articles for
your project as Openalea started from what others had done in the visual
programming domain and expand upon that.
