Each year we hold a small workshop somewhere in Scotland. The purpose
of these workshops is to promote functional programming research at
Glasgow by providing a forum in which new ideas can be discussed in a
friendly, informal environment. The workshops are attended by
invitees from other universities and commercial organisations as well
as by the Glasgow functional programmers. The proceedings of the
workshops are revised, refereed and published.
Previous Glasgow FP Workshops
All but the 1988 and the 1996 workshops have been published in the
Springer-Verlag Workshops in Computing Series. The 1988 was
available as a Glasgow tech-report, but is currently out of print.
The 1996 workshop proceedings
are published electronically, and as a tech-report.
Here is a list of the workshops.
Scottish Functional Parallel Interest Group (SCOFPIG)
SCOFPIG is a
functional parallel programming interest group, which includes members
from several Scottish Universities. Membership is open, and informal
meetings are expected to be held two or three times a year.
