Invitation to an Informal Workshop on

The Use of Functional Languages in Industry

The Erlang Experience

Room: Lyceum (same floor as CC'96)

There will be a few presentations but no proceedings.
Copies of papers, if any, will be distributed to the participants.
The intention is to encourage free discussion, but short presentations and positions statements are welcome.

Draft Program:

• Opening of Workshop
  Bengt Lennartsson, Dept. of Comp.&Information Sc., Linköpings Universitet.
• Announcement of some master theses:
  • Johan Carleson: Industriella Erfarenheter av Erlang (apparently in Swedish).
    
  • Martin Sandberg: An Integrated Approach to System Implementation.
    
  • Tomas Aronsson, Johan Grafström: A Comparison Between Erlang and C++ for Implementation of Telecom Applications.
    
  • Johan Agat, Lennart Dahlström: En utvärdering av två deklarativa programspråk (apparently in Swedish).
• ERLANG a Declarative Language - Its Use in Industrial Applications.
  Torbjorn Keisu, Ericsson Software Technology AB
• ERLANG a Declarative Language - How to Meet the Performance Requirements.
  Bogumil Hausman, Computer Science Lab, Ericsson Telecom AB
• RAVE - a declarative language for expressing corporate legality. Design and implementation.
  Lennart Augustsson & Staffan Truve', Carlstedt Research & Technology AB
  Abstract: RAVE is a declarative language used to express "corporate legality" in a formal way. The legality rules expressed in RAVE can be used in different applications, but the original use is for checking the correctness of crew schedules for airlines. RAVE borrows ideas from both functional and object oriented languages. The RAVE compiler is written in Haskell, and uses several advanced analyses to improve performance, e.g. partial evaluation.
• The DAISY Project - Evaluating Erlang and the Mobility Server for a Wireless Office System.
  Per Elmdahl, Ericsson Radio Systems AB. E-post: erapeel@lmera.ericsson.se
  Abstract: The Daisy project aimed at building competence on Erlang and the Mobility Server for an upcoming Wireless Office project. Experiences from this project were gathered. Erlang and the Mobility Server proved to be a promising platform for the future. The presentation will discuss some issues observed during the project.
• FINAL DISCUSSION.
