Coursework Assignment

The assessed coursework for APL is to research and write a report on one of the following topics:

  • Information flow in Jif
  • Programming the web with Links
  • Parallel programming in Haskell with par and seq
  • Asynchronous workflows in F#
  • Functional reactive programming in Flapjax

Preparing your report will involve reading research papers, technical manuals, and some code development on the system in question. Further details are available from the coursework webpage, including some examples of previous reports.

The lecture next Friday will review the assignment topics, and give information on preparing your report, its content and arrangement.

Homework

Do some basic research into each of the topics, in preparation for next Friday. Find out what you can, and consider which one most interests you. The lecture on Friday is a chance ask further questions about the topics, and any other issues that concern you. You can also post questions here on the blog, or by email to the lecturers.
