| Abstract | It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the third workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming (MSFP 2010). This year, MSFP is affiliated with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) and takes place in Baltimore, Maryland (US) on 25 September. MSFP is devoted to the derivation of functionality from structure. It is a celebration of the direct impact of Theoretical Computer Science on programs as we write them today. Modern programming languages, and in particular functional languages, support the direct expression of mathematical structures, equipping programmers with tools of remarkable power and abstraction. Monadicprogramming in Haskell is the paradigmatic example, but there are many more mathematical insights manifest in programs and in programming language design: Freyd-categories in reactive programming, symbolic differentiation yielding context structures, and comonadic presentations of dataflow, to name but three. This workshop is a forum for researchers who seek to reflect mathematical phenomena in data and control. We selected four high-quality articles from all the submitted papers. Each one was thoroughly refereed by at least three experts in the relevant field. In addition we invited two leading researchers, Amy Felty and MartÃn Escardó, to give overview talks in two important areas of the mathematical foundation of functional programming. Finally, we asked two experts, Adam Chlipala and Peter Morris, to give tutorials on two major systems based on dependently typed functional programming. Thus, this year's workshop offers an exciting mixture of different kinds of contributions, all of exceptional quality. We hope that you will gain an enlightening vista of one of the most fertile area of research in theoretical computer science. |
