AMOOCON 2010: Concurrent Programming with Erlang (Rostock, Germany)
Tino Breddin, a Systems Engineer at Erlang Solutions Ltd, will be giving a talk on "Concurrent Programming with Erlang" at the AMOOCON2010. AMOOCON is an annual boutique tech conference run in Rostock, Germany. Tino's talk will take place on Friday, 4th June 2010.
Abstract:
The development of SMPs during the last years has led to an increasing interest software development for multi-processor architectures. While many programming languages such as C or Java require additional concepts like STM to cope with multi-threading in an easy and non error-prone way, Erlang’s features make it ideal for developing scalable application and use SMP as best as possible.
Erlang has been developed by Ericsson in the early 1990s and been used to develop large-scale telecoms systems ever since. Recently it has been used in many other areas where scalability matters, such as for messaging and data distribution. The language features allow programmers to concentrate on problem solving by abstracting from the underlying multi-processor hardware.
This talk will give a general overview of the Erlang’s language features and highlight its use in some well-known open source projects.
Bio:
Tino Breddin is a Systems Engineer at Erlang Solutions Ltd where he spends quality time on building scalable, highly-reliable systems for messaging and data storage. When not using Erlang he prefers using Python or Ruby for anything which needs to be automated. Previously Tino worked at the research labs of SAP Labs LLC in Palo Alto and SAP AG in Dresden focusing on massively scalable systems development.
