ICFP 2007 introduced a new category of paper called an "Experience Report", which is not required to add to the body of research knowledge, but rather report on the effectiveness of functional tools and methods in full-scale projects. You can read the official description in the call for papers: <a href="http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/cfp/cfp.html">http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/cfp/cfp.html</a><br>

Hi folks<br>I'm thinking of writing a little essay arguing the case for the<br>advantages of FP for producing quality software. Can the list<br>recommend any papers/articles which I can use as sources of my<br>argument? I have access to the IEEE database too although earlier I<br>
couldn't find anything on the subject.<br>Thanks, Paul<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Haskell-Cafe mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org" target="_blank">Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org</a><br>
