Phil Trinder - Böcker

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.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 33rd International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2022, held in GLasgow, UK, in August 2022.The 25 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions.

This volume is published in Honor of PhilipWadler on the occasion of his 60th birthday, and the collection of papers forma Festschrift for him. The research papers included hererepresent some of the areas in which Phil has been active, and the editorsthank their colleagues for agreeing to contribute to this Festschrift.

Functional programminghas a long history,reaching back through early reali- tions in languages like LISP to foundational theories of computing, in particular ?-calculus and recursive function theory. In turn, functional programming has had wide in?uence in computing, both through developments within the dis- pline, such as formal semantics, polymorphic type checking, lazy evaluation and structural proof, and as a practical embodiment of formalized approaches, such as speci?cation, transformation and partial application. One of the engaging features of functional programming is precisely the crossover between theory and practice. In particular, it is regarded as ess- tial that all aspects of functional programming are appropriately formalized, especially the speci?cation and implementation of functional languages. Thus, specialist functional programming events like the International Workshop on the Implementation of Functional Languages (IFL) attract contributions where strong use is made of syntactic, semantic and meta-mathematical formalisms to motivate, justify and underpin very practical software systems.IFL grew out of smaller workshops aimed at practitioners wrestling with the nuts and bolts of making concrete implementations of highly abstract l- guages. Functional programming has always been bedeviled by an unwarranted reputation for slowand ine?cient implementations. IFL is one venue where such problemsaretackledheadon,alwaysusing formaltechniques to justify practical implementations.

The 16th International Workshop on Implementation and Application of Fu- tional Languages (IFL 2004) was held in Lub ¨ eck, Germany, September 8–10, 2004. It was jointly organized by the Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics of the University of Kiel and the Institute of Software Technology and Programming Languages of the University of Lub ¨ eck. IFL 2004 was the sixteenth event in the annual series of IFL workshops. The aim of the workshop series is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based progr- ming languages. It provides an open forum for researchers who wish to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, preliminary results, etc., related primarily, but not exclusively, to the implementation and application of functional languages. Topics of interest cover a wide range from theoretical - pects over language design and implementation towards applications and tool support. Previous IFL workshops were held in the United Kingdom (Southampton, Norwich, London, St Andrews, and Edinburgh), in the Netherlands (Nijmegen and Lochem), in Germany (Aachen and Bonn), in Sweden (B? astad and Sto- holm), and in Spain (Madrid). In 2005, the 17th International Workshop on - plementation and Application of Functional Languages will be held in Dublin, Ireland.
