The Glasgow Functional Programming Group is widely recognised for its research in lazy functional languages. Once again this year, for the fifth time, we retreated to a Scottish seaside town to discuss our latest work, this time spending three days in Ayr. We were joined by a number of colleagues from other universities and from industry, with whom we have been enjoying fruitful collaboration. The workshop serves the dual purpose of ensuring that the whole group remains informed of each other's work, and of providing workshop experience for research students. Most participants presented a short talk about their work, supplemented by papers which appeared in a draft proceedings distributed at...
It is over 20 years since the functional data model and functional programming languages were first introduced to the computing community. Although developed by separate research communities, recent work, presented in this book, suggests there is powerful synergy in their integration. As database technology emerges as central to yet more complex and demanding applications in areas such as bioinformatics, national security, criminal investigations and advanced engineering, more sophisticated approaches like those presented here, are needed. A tutorial introduction by the editors prepares the reader for the chapters that follow, written by leading researchers, including some of the early pione...
Functional Programming is a relatively new area of computer science. These proceedings contain 25 papers representing an excellent snapshot of the current state of functional programming and are written by the leading computer scientists in this aera. In some universities, a functional programming language is used as the introductory teaching language and computer architectures are being designed and investigated to support functional languages.
PDSIA '99 was the fourth in a series of international workshops on parallel symbolic computing, a basic yet challenging area with wide applications in high-performance computing. As in the previous meetings, parallel symbolic languages and systems were the major topics. However, reflecting the latest advances in distributed computing systems, the workshop also encompassed wider perspectives in parallel and distributed computing for symbolic and irregular applications.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Implementation and Applications of Functional Languages, IFL 2005, held in Dublin, Ireland in September 2005. Ranging from theoretical and methodological topics to implementation issues and applications in various contexts, the papers address all current issues on functional and function-based languages.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on the Implementation of Functional Languages, IFL'99, held in Lochem, The Netherlands, in September 1999. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing. The papers are organized in sections on applications, compilation techniques, language concepts, and parallelism.
In order to solve a long-standing problem with list fusion, a new compiler transformation, "Call Arity" is developed and implemented in the Haskell compiler GHC. It is formally proven to not degrade program performance; the proof is machine-checked using the interactive theorem prover Isabelle. To that end, a formalization of Launchbury's Natural Semantics for Lazy Evaluation is modelled in Isabelle, including a correctness and adequacy proof.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Foundational and Practical Aspects of Resource Analysis, FOPARA 2009, held at the 16th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2009, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in November 2009. The 10 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 research presentation contributions and one invited lecture.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Implementation and Applications of Functional Languages, IFL 2004, held in Lübeck, Germany in September 2004. The 13 revised full papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were selected from an initial total of 40 workshop presentations. The papers address current issues on functional and function-based languages, ranging from theoretical and methodological topics to implementation issues and applications in various contexts.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on the Implementation of Functional Languages, IFL'98, held in London, UK, in September 1998. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing. The volume covers a wide range of topics including parallel process organization, parallel profiling, compilation and semantics of parallel systems, programming methodology, interrupt handling, strictness analysis, concurrency and message passing, and inter-language working.
