Erlang is a concurrent, distributed functional programming language aimed at 
systems with requirements on massive concurrency, soft real time response, 
fault tolerance, and high availability. It has been available as open source 
for several years creating a community that actively contributes to its already 
existing rich set of libraries and applications. Originally created for telecom 
applications, its usage has spread to other domains including e-commerce, 
banking, and computer telephony.

Erlang programs are today among the largest applications written in any 
functional programming language. These applications offer new opportunities to 
evaluate functional programming and functional programming methods on a very 
large scale and suggest new problems for the research community to solve.

This workshop will bring together the open source, academic, and industrial 
programming communities of Erlang. It will enable participants to familiarize 
themselves with recent developments on new techniques and tools tailored to 
Erlang, novel applications, draw lessons from users' experiences and identify 
research problems and common areas relevant to the practice of Erlang and 
functional programming.


Submission and publication information

The workshop will have printed proceedings which will be distributed to the 
participants at the time of the workshop. Subsequently, the papers will be 
included in the ACM Digital Library. Authors are therefore advised to use the 
Author Information for SIGPLAN Conferences when preparing their submissions.

Authors should submit provisional full papers. Submissions will be accepted 
electronically; the submission page is not yet ready. The length should be 
restricted to 12 pages in standard ACM format.

In previous workshops we have had a mix of papers representing academic 
research and industrial experiences with Erlang. We particularly welcome papers 
describing new and novel application of Erlang - if you have any doubts about 
the suitability of a paper please feel free to contact the Program Chair for 
advice.

Authors should submit their papers using the submission website. In case of 
technical problems, please contact erlangws08 at inf.elte.hu.
