Trends in Functional Programming Volume 3 by Kevin Hammond

This book brings together leading researchers and practitioners in the field of functional programming. The work presented here covers many aspects of the field, including:

  • language design 
  • proof and transformation
  • semantics and models
  • implementation
  • type systems
  • parallelism and distribution
  • performance modelling and profiling
  • programming methodologies

The Editors introduce a wide-ranging set of articles, arranged by general subject area. Short overviews bring strong thematic links between individual articles, including:

  • applications
  • implementation techniques
  • parallel systems and programming
  • memory architectures
  • type systems

The articles themselves are drawn from the series of Scottish Functional Programming Workshops. Central Scotland has been highly influential in the development of functional programming with notable contributions that include the design, implementation and use of the SASL, Standard ML and Haskell languages. 

The Workshops provide an international forum, linking a vibrant Scottish core with the wider community. As a product of this forum, the book brings a broad perspective on current research trends and practice in the field.
