Erlang in your infrastructure, host: Gordon Guthrie

Gone are the days of the mainframe, and infrastructure software for the 21st Century needs to be distributed, scalable and flexible.

Erlang and Test-Driven Development, host: Thomas Arts

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 checking 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.

Case Studies, host: Ulf Wiger

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their association with other technologies rather than Erlang.

Erlang and the Web, host: Jan Henry Nystrom

As web services become ever more sophisticated and stateful, we see a growing demand for back-end technologies enabling uninterrupted service, quick response time and complex logic. In response to this, a number of Erlang-based web frameworks and exciting Erlang-based web applications have seen the light. In this track, we take a closer look at some of them.
