Erlang Workshop

viale Morgagni, 44

Erlang is used in many projects at Ericsson, as well as by mobile phone operators, email companies, and internet service providers among others and must be the most widely used functional programming language in industry today.

Large scale use offers a golden opportunity to evaluate the functional paradigm "for real". The aim of the workshop was to bring the academic and industrial functional programming communities together, draw lessons from the experience so far, and identify research problems relevant to industrial functional programming practice.
