Functional Programming relies exclusively on functions as fir st-class citizens\, which means that they are treated like any other value s\, and they can be passed around as arguments or returned from other func tions. Modern applications that involves highly concurrent computing on mu lticore machines face a big challenge with the machines' "state". All impe rative languages\, including object-oriented languages\, involve multiple threads changing the shared state of objects. This is where deadlocks\, st ack traces\, and low-level processor cache misses all take place. If there is no state\, there is no problem. In this workshop\, we will explore the principles of Functional Programming and how we can implement those conce pts in Java so as to build massively parallel applications in the field of Big Data.\n\nPre-requisite: Knowledge of Java Programming\n\nSpeaker(s): Kin-Choong Yow\, \n\nAgenda: \n- What is Functional Programming?\n- Imple menting Function Programming Concepts with Java\n· Introduction to lambda expressions\n\n· Manipulating Collections\n\n· Strings and Comparators\ n\n· Lazy Evaluation\n\n· Tail-call Optimization\n\n· Functional Compos ition\n\n- Exercises\n\nRoom: ED 485.1\, Bldg: Education Building\, Univer sity of Regina\, 3737 Wascana Parkway\, Regina\, Saskatchewan\, Canada\, S 4S 0A2\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/490436 LOCATION:Room: ED 485.1\, Bldg: Education Building\, University of Regina\, 3737 Wascana Parkway\, Regina\, Saskatchewan\, Canada\, S4S 0A2\, Virtual : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/490436 ORGANIZER:Kin-Choong.Yow@uregina.ca SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Functional Programming in Java URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/490436 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt\; line-heig ht: 115%\; font-family: 'Open Sans'\,sans-serif\; mso-fareast-font-family: DengXian\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast\; color: #616161\; backg round: white\; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA\; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN\; ms o-bidi-language: AR-SA\;">Functional Programming is a programming style th at is different from the more well-known Structured Programming or Object- Oriented Programming style. Functional Programming relies exclusively on f unctions as first-class citizens\, which means that they are treated like any other values\, and they can be passed around as arguments or returned from other functions. Modern applications that involves highly concurrent computing on multicore machines face a big challenge with the machines' "s tate". All imperative languages\, including object-oriented languages\, in volve multiple threads changing the shared state of objects. This is where deadlocks\, stack traces\, and low-level processor cache misses all take place. If there is no state\, there is no problem. In this workshop\, we w ill explore the principles of Functional Programming and how we can implem ent those concepts in Java so as to build massively parallel applications in the field of Big Data.</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 10.5pt\;
