Abstract

The Peter Landin prize honours the best paper presented at each year's International Symposium on the Implementation and Application of Functional Languages (IFL). It has been awarded every year since 2003, and covers a range of topics including functional operating systems, static analysis for cost information of functional programs, techniques to improve array processing for data locality and parallelism, explicit parallel coordination, supercompilation, and a rational deconstruction of Landin's SECD machine itself. This article describes the history of the prize, explains why Peter Landin was chosen as nominee, and describes each of the articles that have been awarded the prize to date. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
