Extractions: The information here is now largely superceded by the Dependable Systems Group page. However, links to copies of functional programming related papers will be retained here. For Glasgow Parallel Haskell details, see here The functional language Navel has been developed to enable the implementation of programming languages as interpreters from their formal semantics. Navel integrates grammar rules as first class values within a strict, run time typed, pure functional language with lazy list construction. Navel has also been used in the implementation of data strutures as self modifying functions, in particular constant space update queues and balanced binary trees. We have been elaborating a skeleton based approach to functional protyping for parallelism. Prototypes are constructed using higher order functions with equivalent parallel generic harnesses. Performance models for harnesses combined with prototype instrumentation enable the identification of useful parallelism: the corresponding harnesses are then instantiated. Where useful parallelism cannot be found, sequential code is produced. Program transformation techniques are applied to compositions of higher order functions to try and optimise sites of useful parallelism. Prototypes are written in Standard ML for implementation in occam2 on a Meiko Computing Surface. Functional prototyping was used in the SERC/EPSRC funded projects GR/F01833 (1989/92), for the rapid prototyping and parallel implementation of algorithms for high level image interpretation, and GR J07884 (1993/96), for the development of a large, reconfigurable, multi-source, parallel vision system. In the latter project, a complete intensity based 3D object recognition pilot system was developed from SML prototypes, as were major components for low and intermediate level image processing in the final system.

Extractions: Functional Programming Languages in Education About these pages New Things Teaching Material Conferences and Workshops ... Statistics on the FPLE Site Functional languages are gathering momentum in education because they facilitate the expression of concepts and structures at a high level of abstraction. The high level of abstraction makes functional languages very suited for teaching students how to program. It is the aim of these web pages to collect information on the use of functional programming in teaching. This covers important areas, such as algorithms and data structures, compiler construction, computer architecture, data base systems, computer graphics, mathematics, problem solving and the semantics of programming languages. Functional languages are to be understood here in a broad sense, including lazy and strict functional languages, languages with a powerful functional subset and algebraic specification formalisms. These pages are still under construction. Check the New Things page for updates and additions. Contributions and suggestions are of course welcome. Please send e-mail to

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/02/14/functional.html

Extractions: (A French translation of this article is available). As is all too common in the programming world, much of the XML community has identified itself and all its works with object oriented programming (OOP). While I'm a fan of OOP, it's clear to me that even the best OOP-for-XML techniques aren't a panacea, and, moreover, there is an awful lot of ad hoc "objectification" which tends merely to make our lives more difficult and our programs less clear. This short-sightedness has two negative consequences: it tends to limit the techniques and tools we use, and it tends to restrict our understanding. For example, although the Document Object Model (DOM) satisfies few and inspires fewer, its status as a standard tends to inhibit (though, fortunately, not to suppress) exploration into alternative models and practices. The debate tends to revolve around "fixing" DOM, which is cast in terms of getting a better object model. While a better object model would be nice, it's important to keep in mind that XML is neither historically nor inherently object-oriented. Thinking otherwise may lead you to perceive or anticipate a better fit than you actually get.

http://www.research.avayalabs.com/user/wadler/realworld/

Extractions: Here is a list of functional programs applied to real-world tasks. The main criterion for being real-world is that the program was written primarily to perform some task, not primarily to experiment with functional programming. Functional is used in the broad sense that includes both `pure' programs (no side effects) and `impure' (some use of side effects). Languages covered include CAML, Clean, Erlang, Haskell, Miranda, Scheme, SML, and others. Further entries are solicted. To submit an entry, please copy the HTML source of this sample and fill in your own details, then send by email to the address below. If in doubt whether your application is suitable for the list, please ask. This list was originally inspired by a Dagstuhl workshop in May 1994 on Functional Programming in the Real World , organised by Robert Giegerich and John Hughes. The list was originated by Philip Wadler, who currently maintains it. Thanks are due to our previous maintainers, Andy Gill and Jonathan Hogg Quite a few libraries exist for various languages, many of which include some impressive real-world applications.

The Functional Logic Language Curry
Multiparadigm declarative programming language seamlessly merges functional, logic, and concurrent programming paradigms; covers the most important operational principles in the area of integrated functional logic languages.
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~curry/

Extractions: A Truly Integrated Functional Logic Language Curry is a universal programming language aiming to amalgamate the most important declarative programming paradigms, namely functional programming and logic programming . Moreover, it also covers the most important operational principles developed in the area of integrated functional logic languages : "residuation" and "narrowing" (you find here a survey on functional logic programming). Curry combines in a seamless way features from functional programming (nested expressions, higher-order functions, lazy evaluation), logic programming (logical variables, partial data structures, built-in search), and concurrent programming (concurrent evaluation of expressions with synchronization on logical variables). Moreover, Curry provides additional features in comparison to the pure languages (compared to functional programming: search, computing with partial information; compared to logic programming: more efficient evaluation due to the deterministic and demand-driven evaluation of functions). The development of Curry is an international initiative intended to provide a common platform for the research, teaching and application of integrated functional logic languages. The design of Curry is mainly discussed in the

Extractions: Functional Logic Programming Functional logic programming aims to amalgamate the most important declarative programming paradigms, namely functional programming and logic programming . In comparison with pure functional languages, functional logic languages have more expressive power due to the availability of features like function inversion, partial data structures, existential variables, and non-deterministic search. In comparison with pure logic languages, functional logic languages have a more efficient operational behavior since functions provide for more efficient evaluation strategies (lazy evaluation, deterministic reductions) than predicates. Early research in this area has been concentrated on the definition and improvement of appropriate execution principles for functional logic languages. In recent years efficient implementations of these execution principles have been developed. You can look into a survey of this area. Languages, Implementations

Extractions: Here's a review of some relevant web sites, useful or othewise. A Frequently Asked Questions list Mark Jones originated and Graham Hutton maintains this excellent functional programming FAQ. It answers questions ranging from basic (`Are there any books about functional programming?') to not-so-basic (`What is a monad?'). It includes links to sites describing the following languages: ASpecT, Caml, Clean, Erlang, FP, Gofer, Haskell, Hope, Hugs, Id, IFP, J, Miranda(TM), ML, NESL, OPAL, Oz, Pizza, Scheme, and Sisal. It also has links to bibliographies, meetings, active research groups, and other resources. The functional programming newsgroup This group is unmoderated, and a mixed bag. The best thing about it is its FAQ, cited above. Otherwise, much dross with a few gems. Discussion largely consists of novice questions, sometimes answered ineptly by other novices, sometimes answered superbly by experts. There is the occasional flamewar, and, rarely, a novel insight. Post here if you have a question not answered by the FAQ; otherwise, it may be better to give it a miss. Functional programming conference list The Queen Mary and Westfield CS department run this list. They allow anyone to make an entry via a form, and as a result some entires are untimely or unrelated to the topic. The list of meetings in the FAQ, cited above, may be a better bet.
The Mercury Project: Introduction
New logic/functional programming language. Combines clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features. Optimized execution is far faster than extant logic languages, and near that of procedural languages. Free software, GPL.
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/

Extractions: Search Logic programming languages have been around for more than twenty years. Despite the expected advantages of a very high level programming language based upon well developed theories of logic over conventional programming languages (such as C, C++, Pascal and Ada) they have not had significant impact on the computer industry. Mercury is a new logic/functional programming language, which combines the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features. Its highly optimized execution algorithm delivers efficiency far in excess of existing logic programming systems, and close to conventional programming systems. Mercury addresses the problems of large-scale program development, allowing modularity, separate compilation, and numerous optimization/time trade-offs. [24 Dec 2002] Mercury 0.11.0 released

Functional programming , as opposed to imperative programming , is a programming paradigm that emphasizes the evaluation of functional expressions, rather than execution of commands. The expressions in these languages are formed by using functions to combine basic values. The functions alluded to in the title are mathematical functions . Mathematical functions have great strengths in terms of flexibility and in terms of analysis. For example if a function is known to be idempotent , then a call to a function which has itself as its argument, and which is known to have no side-effects , may be efficiently computed without multiple calls.
