SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This volume provides a survey of research trends in parallel functional programming. It includes contributions from leading researchers and practitioners throughout the world, including the U.S. and Canada. The first part of the book gives a comprehensive introduction to fundamental issues such as foundations, programming constructs, proof, architectures, and implementations. The second provides summaries of research areas which are either of particular interest at the moment, or which promise to lead to key developments in the future."--Jacket
