Erlang is a concurrent functional programming language aimed at large applications, especially for distributed, highly available systems and Erlang applications are among the largest applications of functional programming in the world.
This experience offers new opportunities to evaluate functional programming, and functional programming methods, on a very large scale, and suggests new problems for the research community to solve.
Erlang with implementations and libraries (including the distributed realtime database etc.) have been available as open source for some years facilitating spreading the language and cooperation with academic research.
This workshop will bring together the academic and industrial functional programming communities, draw lessons from the experience so far, and identify research problems relevant to the practice of functional programming.
