Upcoming Events



29 Sep 2010: ICFP 2010, Baltimore, US

The 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, from 27 to 29 September 2010.

ICFP 2010 provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. The conference covers the entire spectrum of work, from practice to theory, including its peripheries.

Erlang Solutions will be present at the ICFP 2010 as well as at the Erlang workshop and CUFP 2010 which will take place just after the conference. Meet us there!




30 Sep 2010: ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop, Baltimore, US

9th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop will be held in Baltimore, Maryland, probably on *30th September 2010.  It will be co-located with ICFP 2010.

The workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and industrial programming communities of Erlang. It will enable participants to familiarize themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools tailored to Erlang, novel applications, draw lessons from users' experiences and identify research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang and functional programming.

If you are curious about how the 8th ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop looked like, the presentation slides and more information can be found here.

Erlang Solutions will be present at the ACM-SIGPLAN,  as well as at CUFP 2010 and ICFP2010. Meet us there!

      

* The dates will be confirmed soon.


1 Oct 2010: CUFP 2010, Baltimore, US

Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (CUFP) will take place in Baltimore, Maryland *probably on 1st October 2010. The event will be co-located with ICFP 2010.

The goal of CUFP is to build a community for users of functional programming languages and technology, be they using functional languages in their professional lives, in an open source project (other than implementation of functional languages), as a hobby, or any combination thereof.

CUFP aims to help functional programming become increasingly viable as a technology for use in the commercial, industrial, and government space, by providing a forum for FP professionals to share their experiences and ideas, whether business, management, or engineering. It also aims to enable the formation and cementing of relationships and alliances that further the use of functional languages. Providing user feedback to language designers and implementers is not a primary goal of the workshop, though it will be welcome if it occurs.

Erlang Solutions will be present at CUFP 2010, as well as at the ACM-SIGPLAN and ICFP2010. Meet us there!
        
* The dates will be confirmed soon.

Year 2010


10 Jun 2010: Erlang Factory, London 2010, UK

The dates of the Erlang Factory London 2010 have been announced. You can now mark on your calendars the 7th,   8th and 9th June for the Erlang University training courses and the 10th and 11th June for the Erlang Factory conference.

The programme, as well as registration and talk-submission will all be available in early April.  In the meantime, you can find information about the Factory in London here and also have a look at last year’s programme, presentation slides and videos. You can also subscribe to our Erlang Factory newsletter to receive the latest updates and news or  follow @erlangfactory on Twitter.

June 2010 belongs to the Erlang Factory in London!


19 May 2010: Trends in Functional Programming 2010, Oklahoma, US

On May 17-19, 2010 the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming will begin its second decade at the University of Oklahoma.

The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research and applications. This year the symposium features an invited talk by J Strother Moore. He will describe the ACL2 theorem prover, a system grounded in functional programming that has seen wide application in high-assurance, industrial applications such as integrated circuit design and security- and safety-critical software.

Erlang Training and Consulting Ltd. sponsors this year's Trends in Functional Programming and Francesco Cesarini (founder and CSO of Erlang Training and Consulting Ltd.) sits on the programme committee.


17 Apr 2010: ACCU 2010: Styling your Architecture in an Evolving Concurrent World and Message-Passing Concurrency in Erlang (Oxford, UK)

ACCU 2010: Styling your Architecture in an Evolving Concurrent World and Message-Passing Concurrency in Erlang (Oxford, UK)
ACCU 2010 will take place from 14 to 17 April 2010 at the Barcelo Oxford Hotel, in Oxford, UK. The programme of the conference will feature a special track on software testing, and sessions on concurrent and distributed systems, C++, Java, agile development and Erlang!


Francesco Cesarini (founder of Erlang Solutions Ltd.) and Ulf Wiger (CTO of Erlang Solutions Ltd.) will be speaking there. Francesco's talk will be on Styling your Architecture in an Evolving Concurrent World and Ulf's on Message-Passing Concurrency in Erlang.

Abstract: Styling your Architecture in an Evolving Concurrent World
This talk will look at the most common architecture patterns in Erlang-based products, describing how each of them solves a particular problem while guaranteeing no single points of failure. It will start with the early versions of the AXD301 switch and end with examples of the use of Erlang in cloud computing architectures.


27 Mar 2010: Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2010, USA

Erlang Architects, Programmers, Project Managers, Software and Platform Innovators and existing Erlang users as well as Erlang newbies and anyone interested in Erlang are all invited to the 2nd Erlang Factory conference to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Erlang Factory conference will last two days from 25 to 26 March 2010. Each day there will be 3 tracks, each on different theme. Delegates can choose which talks they want to attend from all available tracks.

In addition to the conference, there will be the Erlang University in the three days preceeding the Erlang Factory conference. This provides training in the Erlang language and also in the OTP platform for new and experienced users respectively. By following three days of training in Erlang with two days of conference talks and networking, you will benefit far more than by only having training by itself.

 

You can subscribe to the Erlang Factory newsletter to receive the latest updates and news or  follow @erlangfactory on Twitter and if you want to see how Erlang Factory looked like last year, read the programme, download presentation slides and watch the videos, you can find all that here.

                                                                    Conference:  March 10-12, 2010


3 Feb 2010: Tutorial: Practical Erlang Programming by Francesco Cesarini (London, UK)

On Wednesday, 3rd February 2010 in London  Francesco Cesarini, the author of 'Erlang Programming'  also the founder and CSO of Erlang Training and Consulting Ltd. will give a tutorial on Practical Erlang Programming.

The tutorial covers the basic, sequential and concurrent aspects of the Erlang programming language. You will learn the basics of how to read, write and structure Erlang programmes. The target audience are software developers and engineers with an interest in server side applications and massively concurrent systems.

The goal of tutorial is a hands-on introduction to the theory and concepts behind sequential and concurrent Erlang programming, explaining the Erlang syntax, semantics and concurrency model. We conclude with an overview of the error handling mechanisms used to build fault tolerant systems with five nines availability.

The tutorial will take place in the Caesar Room, Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London WC1B 5BB.
