**Title**: OTP, the Middleware for Concurrent Distributed Scalable Architectures\\
**Proposer**: [[2013:francesco_cesarini]]\\
**Type**: Presentation\\
**Duration**: 90 minutes\\
**Description**: 
While Erlang is a powerful programming language used to build 
distributed, fault tolerant systems with requirements of high 
availability, these complex systems require middleware in the form of 
reusable libraries, release, debugging and maintenance tools together 
with design principles and patterns used to style your concurrency model 
and your architecture.\\
\\
In this talk, Francesco will introduce the building blocks that form 
OTP, the defacto middleware that ships with the Erlang/OTP distribution. 
He will cover OTP’s design principles, describing how they provide 
software engineering guidelines that enable developers to structure 
systems in a scalable and fault tolerant way, without the need to 
reinvent the wheel.\\
\\
Talk objectives: Introduce a powerful framework which reduces errors and 
helps developers achieve robustness and fault tolerance without 
affecting time to market.\\
\\
Target audience: Erlang beginners and engineers and architects implementing scalable, server side systems.\\
\\
Jon: Francesco notes - I've attached the talk I recently gave at TechMesh in London, on which this talk will be based.\\
