1 About my work
1.1 Background
My particular areas of interest in programming are:
- Functional programming
- Formal modelling / model based programming
- Concurrency / cloud programming
- Embedded systems
I am also establishing a small business developing control systems and software for robots. The key idea is to make the robot part of the cloud rather than a stand-alone device. Further information:
- Company website
- Blog (also contains research papers on Haskell and functional programming)
1.2 Current projects
- I have developed a simple implementation of MapReduce using a modified form of monad. It's described here. I would be very happy if others joined in the development effort.
- I'm defining and then coding a language (Catskell) in the spirit of LOLCODE which is basically a feline-friendly subset of Haskell. My intention is to write a Catskell-to-Haskell translator. This should be a good exercise in making sure I really understand the language.
