Summary on Grant Application Form
Shape theory supports a new programming style as embodied in Jay's programming languages Functorial ML, FISh 1 and their offshoots, especially in parallel programming.Likely areas of collaboration are: generalisation and applications of this theory; extensions to FISh inspired by ML; improvement to the design and/or cost model of goldFISh; a case study illustrating the benefits of shaping in parallel computing.
