    Parallel/Concurrent Programming

Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language designed for programming large industrial real time systems. The language is untyped and has a pattern matching syntax. Functions are written as a set of recursion equations and the language has explicit concurrency and asynchronous message passing. Written in a tutorial style, the emphasis is on learning through example and a number of well known problems in designing and programming concurrent fault-tolerant real-time systems are illstrated.

Information about Erlang is available via http://www-slab.ericsson.se:5000/. New chapters on Distributed Programming, Distributed Programming Techniques and Distributed Data.
