Erlang Solutions in the USA
Erlang Solutions delivered the first training course for the American market in 2001 and has since expanded its customer base providing services to private individuals and blue chip companies alike. We often speak at US/Canadian conferences and show up at user group meetings.
We offer scheduled courses at all levels in the Bay Area, Chicago, New York and Boston. If the trainer who might best suit your needs is not based in America, it is not a problem. For bespoke training on client premises on the American continent, travel time and travel costs are on us if we receive the formal order four weeks in advance! Other services include staffing of your Erlang projects, consulting services, in-house systems development and 24/7 support. Thanks to our broad experience and wide range of consultants in Erlang/OTP, we are able to provide services that fully meet your expectations.
We are in the process of setting an office in the Bay Area, but until that is formalised, do not hesitate to contact us! At any one time, a large portion of our staff is either in the US or working remotely with US based projects.
Our services include:

Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (Baltimore, USA)
Commercial Users of Functional Programming 2010 (CUFP) will take place in Baltimore, Maryland *probably on 1st October 2010. The event will be co-located with ICFP 2010.
The goal of CUFP is to build a community for users of functional programming languages and technology, be they using functional languages in their professional lives, in an open source project (other than implementation of functional languages), as a hobby, or any combination thereof.
CUFP aims to help functional programming become increasingly viable as a technology for use in the commercial, industrial, and government space, by providing a forum for FP professionals to share their experiences and ideas, whether business, management, or engineering. It also aims to enable the formation and cementing of relationships and alliances that further the use of functional languages. Providing user feedback to language designers and implementers is not a primary goal of the workshop, though it will be welcome if it occurs.
Erlang Solutions will be present at CUFP 2010, as well as at the ACM-SIGPLAN and ICFP2010. Meet us there!

20 July 2010:
OSCON 2010: Practical Erlang Tutorial (Portland, USA)
Meet us at OSCON (Open Source Convention) 2010 in Portland, Oregon. On 20 July 2010 Erlang Solutions will be giving there the "Practical Erlang Programming" Tutorial.
Abstract:
This hands on tutorial will give you an introduction to the Erlang programming language. You will learn the basics of how to read, write and structure Erlang programs. We start with an insight into the theory and concepts behind sequential and concurrent Erlang, allowing you to get acquainted with the Erlang syntax and semantics. We conclude with an overview of the error handling mechanisms used to build fault tolerant systems with five nines availability.
Target Audience: Delegates who will benefit from this tutorial includes those want to learn more about Erlang and its concurrency model. Attending will put you on the right track in building distributed, fault tolerant massively concurrent soft real-time systems.
In order to get the most out of this tutorial, you must have a good grasp of other programming languages. This will be a hands on tutorial. Make sure you come with your laptop having installed Erlang and your favourite editor.
More information about the tutorial and the conference itself can be found here.

TFP2010: ComputErl - Erlang-based Framework for Many Task Computing (Oklahoma, USA)
Michal Ptaszek, Consultant at Erlang Solutions Ltd. will be giving a talk on "ComputErl - Erlang-based Framework for Many Task Computing" at the Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming at the University of Oklahoma this May.
The Symposium is an international forum for researchers with interests in all aspects of functional programming. It embraces a broad view of current and future trends in functional programming and aspires to be a lively environment for presenting the latest research and applications.
Michal's bio:
My adventure with computers started when I was ten years old: I created my first loop on C-64 using the BASIC programming language. I like experimenting with new technologies, working at the lowest levels of systems and solving the security issues.
abstract:
This paper shows how Erlang programming language can be used for creating a framework for distributing and coordinating the execution of many task computing problems. The goals of the proposed solution are (1) to disperse the computation into many tasks, (2) to support multiple well-known computation models (such as master-worker, map-reduce, pipeline), (3) to exploit the advantages of Erlang for developing an efficient and scalable framework and (4) to build a system that can scale from small to large number of tasks with minimum effort. We present the effects of work on designing, implementing and testing ComputErl framework. Experiments with benchmarks as well as real scientific applications on the cluster show scalability on up to 100 nodes.
Erlang Solutions Ltd. sponsors this year's Trends in Functional Programming and Francesco Cesarini (founder and CSO of Erlang Solutions Ltd.) sits on the programme committee.

27 March 2010:
Erlang Factory SF Bay Area 2010 (USA)
Erlang Architects, Programmers, Project Managers, Software and Platform Innovators and existing Erlang users as well as Erlang newbies and anyone interested in Erlang are all invited to the 2nd Erlang Factory conference to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Erlang Factory conference will last two days from 25 to 26 March 2010. Each day there will be 3 tracks, each on different theme. Delegates can choose which talks they want to attend from all available tracks.
In addition to the conference, there will be the Erlang University in the three days preceeding the Erlang Factory conference. This provides training in the Erlang language and also in the OTP platform for new and experienced users respectively. By following three days of training in Erlang with two days of conference talks and networking, you will benefit far more than by only having training by itself.

OOPSLA 2009: Practical Erlang Programming and an OTP Tutorial (Orlando, USA)
Meet us at OOPSLA 2009, where Francesco Cesarini will give two tutorials: Practical Erlang Programming and an OTP Tutorial. The tutorials are highly recommended for experienced programmers who want an overview of Erlang and what it can do.
OOPSLA is an annual conference covering topics on object-oriented programming systems, languages and applications. Like other conferences, OOPSLA offers various tracks and many simultaneous sessions, and thus has different meaning to different people - from recognized academics to undergraduate students, from industrial researchers to developers and managers, from the creators of technology to its users.
OOPSLA 2009 will take place from October 25 to 29,2009 in Orlando, Florida.

23 July 2009:
OSCON: Erlang for Five Nines: A non technical introduction to Erlang (San Jose, USA)
This talk will introduce the concurrent functional programming language Erlang to a non technical audience. It will describe how to do more with less, giving examples on the syntax and constructs which allow Erlang programs to generally be 4 – 10 times shorter than their counterparts in Java, C and C++ while achieving 99,999% availability. Erlang, while originally invented to handle the next generation of Telecom switches, has been used successful in a much wider range of sectors including banking, e-commerce, instant messaging and food traceability. We will provide examples not only of the Ericsson success stories, but also give examples of these other domains, describing why Erlang is a perfect fit in these market segments. We will conclude by presenting the ever growing Erlang community. This includes open source projects which are making a difference, the websites, blogs, conferences and user groups which are today growing exponentially. If you have heard about Erlang and want to hear about it from the Horse’s mouth, this is the talk for you. For more info, visit the OSCON Site...
