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 transformationsemantics and modelsimplementationapplicationstype systemsparallelism and distributionperformance modelling and profilingprogramming methodologiesThe Editors provide a substantial introduction to a wide ranging set of papers, arranged by subject area. Appropriate overviews and summaries bring strong thematic links between chapters and sections covering:Parallel Systems and ProgrammingType SystemsArchitectures and ImplementationsApplicationsTheoryThe articles themselves are drawn from the First Scottish Functional Programming Workshop, held in Stirling in 1999. Central Scotland has been very influential in the development of functional programming, with notable contributions including 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.
