Erlang Factory - Case Studies in Gaming and Messaging

Case Studies in Gaming and Messaging

Host: Michal Slaski
Date: 09-06-2011
Room:
While Erlang is hardly the language of choice for mainstream game devs, it is making interesting inroads in certain niches. Handling complexity, robustness and massive scale seem to be the operative words for the use of Erlang in Gaming and Simulations, and many of the techniques employed are borrowed from the field of scalable Messaging applications - an area where Erlang is outstanding. In this track we combine case studies from all these fields.

Erlang and Test-Driven Development, host: Fred Hebert

Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on Erlang and model-based testing has gone on for almost as long. This track covers test-driven development ranging from hands-on practical industrial experience to the latest news from the research front.
