Trends in Functional Programming

This collection of 17 papers drawn from an August 1999 workshop held in Scotland presents advances in parallel functional programming, type systems, architectures and implementation, language applications, and theory. Topics include BSP-based cost analysis of skeletal programs, how to combine the benefits of strict and soft typing, interfacing Java with Haskell, a functional design framework for genetic algorithms, and list homomorphisms with accumulation and indexing.
