Trends in Fuctional Programming 2012
Erlang Solutions
The symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming, taking a broad view of current and future trends in the area of functional programming. It aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research results, and other contributions (see below), described in draft papers submitted prior to the symposium. A formal post-symposium refereeing process then selects a subset of the articles presented at the symposium and submitted for formal publication, as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume, as they were for the TFP 2010 selected papers.

Erlang Solutions specialises in providing businesses with truly scalable solutions through the creation, integration, delivery and lifetime support of products and services based on the Erlang programming language; we work with customers from small developers to Fortune 500 corporations.

QCon London 2012 - March 5 - 9

QCon London is the sixth annual London enterprise software development conference designed for developers, team leads, architects and project management is back! There is no other event in the UK with similar opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the Java, .NET, Html5, Mobile , Agile, and Architecture communities. Key takeaway points and the many blog discussions from last year's QCon London can be found in this article

Our concept has always been to present the latest developments as they become relevant and interesting for the software development community. With a 360 degree perspective we present new technology and trends in a non vendor forum to give the attendees inspiration, energy and desire to learn. Plus, we always have awesome speakers!

QCon London is organized by Trifork A/S; a software development company situated in Aarhus, Denmark and InfoQ - Tracking change and innovation in the enterprise software development community 

Co-author of Erlang Programming, Francesco Cesarini will be presenting at the conference.

The programme:

Robert Virding
Robert Virding recently joined Erlang Solutions Ltd as Principal Language Expert. While at Ericsson AB, Robert Virding was one of the original members of the Ericsson Computer Science Lab, and co-inventor of the Erlang language. He took part in the original system design and contributed much of the original libraries, as well as to the current compiler. While at the lab he also did a lot of work on the implementation of logic and functional languages and on garbage collection. He has also worked as an entrepreneur and was one of the co-founders of one of the first Erlang startups (Bluetail). Robert Virding also worked a number of years at the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) Modelling and Simulations Group. He co-authored the first book (Prentice-Hall) on Erlang, and is regularly invited to teach and present throughout the world.

Abstract
"The Design and Implementation of a Scalable Concurrent Virtual Machine"

Mission critical applications such as telecommunications switches Ericson, global scale chat Facebook, high performance message buses Rabbit, and fault tolerant databases Riak must support massive fault tolerant concurrency and distribution. In our experience concurrency at scale requires a purpose designed virtual machine and its GC. In this talk we discuss our experience building the Erlang VMs with a particular focus scalability. We present challenges and solutions for concurrent VMs. We discuss some essential interactions between VM and language design necessary to achieve scalability. We will also briefly comment on our experience extending JVMs to support concurrency."
