This volume presents an edited selection of contributions from the second Scottish Functional Programming Workshop. It covers the latest technical advances in functional programming and highlights the major research goals and engineering concerns for the subject.

This volume considers such research issues as:

• making profitable use of modern parallel architectures
• designing and defining modern type systems
• performance comparisons between different functional languages
• applying functional programming languages

Dr Stephen Gilmore is a Senior Lecturer and Head of the School of Computer Science at The University of Edinburgh. He studied for his PhD at The Queen's University of Belfast and has been involved in the definition and development of functional programming languages since coming to Edinburgh. He has previously edited the proceedings of the FIREworks workshop on language constructs for describing features.
