This volume provides a state of the art survey of research trends in parallel functional programming. The text is divided into two sections: the first section gives comprehensive introductions to key issues such as: foundations, programming constructs, proof, architectures, and implementations; the second comprises shorter summaries of research areas which are either of particular interest at the moment, or which promise to provide key developments in the near future. Topics covered here include: coordination languages, performance monitoring; data flow programming; explicit parallelism; BSP and cost modelling. Contributions have been commissioned by key researchers and practitioners in the area, including several from the US and Canada where this is an area of increasing interest. Research Directions in Parallel Functional Programming will be of interest to researchers, (post)graduate students and practitioners in all relevant areas.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop
proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on the
Implementation of Functional Languages, IFL'98, held in London, UK,
in September 1998.
The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during
two rounds of reviewing. The volume covers a wide range of topics
including parallel process organization, parallel profiling,
compilation and semantics of parallel systems, programming
methodology, interrupt handling, strictness analysis, concurrency
and message passing, and inter-language working.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop
proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Implementation of
Functional Languages, IFL'97, held in St. Andrews, Scotland, UK, in
September 1997.
The 21 revised full papers presented were selected from the 34
papers accepted for presentation at the workshop during a second
round of thorough a-posteriori reviewing. The book is divided in
sections on compilation, types, benchmarking and profiling,
parallelism, interaction, language design, and garbage collection.
This is the proceedings of the seventh annual workshop held by the
Glasgow Functional Programming Group. The purpose of the workshop
is to provide a focus for new research, to foster research contacts
with other functional language researchers, and to provide a
platform for research students to develop their presentation
skills. As in previous years, we spent three days closeted together
in a pleasant seaside town, isolated from normal work commitments.
We were joined by colleagues from other universities (both UK and
abroad) and from industry. Workshop participants presented a short
talk about their current research work, and produced a paper which
appeared in a draft proceedings. These papers were then reviewed
and revised in the light of discussions at the workshop and the
referees' comments. A selection of those revised papers (the
majority of those presented at the workshop) appears here in the
published proceedings. The papers themselves cover a wide span,
from theoretical work on algebras and bisimilarity to experience
with a real-world medical applica tion. Unsurprisingly, given
Glasgow's track record, there is a strong emphasis on compilation
techniques and optimisations, and there are also several papers on
concurrency and parallelism."
The Functional Programming Group at the University of Glasgow was
started in 1986 by John Hughes and Mary Sheeran. Since then it has
grown in size and strength, becoming one of the largest computing
science research groups at Glasgow and earning an international
reputation. The first Glasgow Functional Programming Workshop was
organised in the summer of 1988. Its purpose was threefold: to
provide a snapshot of all the research going on within the group,
to share research ideas between Glaswegians and colleagues in the
U.K. and abroad, and to introduce research students to the art of
writing and presenting papers at a semi-formal (but still local and
friendly) conference. The success of the first workshop has led to
an annual series: Rothesay (1988), Fraserburgh (1989), Ullapool
(1990). Portree (1991), Ayr (1992), and the workshop reported in
these proceedings: Ayr (1993). Most participants wrote a paper that
appeared in the draft proceedings (distributed at the workshop),
and each draft paper was presented by one of the authors. The
papers were all refereed by several other participants at the
workshop, both internal and external, and the programme committee
selected papers for these proceedings. Most papers have been
revised twice, based firstly on feedback at the workshop, and
secondly using the referee reports.
It's 1958 - a time of rock and roll, space discovery, and great
hope for a bright future. But, trouble is brewing at the Whitney
Ellis Private School For Girls. Only days away from the opening
night of the end of term musical, "Rocket Girl", the leading lady
is knocked unconscious with a sandbag. Once again, it is up to our
favourite teenage sleuth, Brenda Bly, to solve the crime, catch the
crook and save the day. Packed with show-stopping songs and
hilarious fast-paced dialogue, "Brenda Bly: Teen Detective" is
guaranteed to chase away the blues.
