The Second International Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software (PLACES) was co-located with ETAPS 2009 in the city of York, England. The workshop took place on Sunday 22nd March 2009. The workshop focused on the challenges raised by the changing landscape of computer software. Traditionally, most software was written for a single computer with one CPU. However applications on the web today are built using numerous interacting services deployed on across many machines; soon off-the-shelf CPUs will host thousands of cores, and sensor networks will be composed from a large number of processing units. Many normal applications will soon need to make effective use of thousands of computing nodes. At some level of granularity, computation in such systems will be inherently concurrent and communication-centred.
The development of effective programming methodologies for the coming computing paradigm demands exploration and understanding of a wide variety of ideas and techniques. This workshop offered a forum where researchers from different fields could exchange new ideas on one of the central challenges for programming in the near future, the development of programming methodologies and infrastructures where concurrency and distribution are the norm rather than a marginal concern.
Modern hardware platforms, from the very small to the very large, increasingly provide parallel and distributed computing resources for applications to maximise performance. Many applications therefore need to make effective use of tens, hundreds, and even thousands of compute nodes. Computation in such systems is thus inherently concurrent and communication centric. Effectively programming such applications is challenging; performance, correctness, and scalability are difficult to achieve.

The increasingly concurrent and parallel landscape of hardware and software infrastructures demands the exploration and understanding of a wide variety of foundational and practical ideas. The International Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software (PLACES) is dedicated to work in this area. The workshop offers a forum for researchers from different fields to exchange new ideas about these challenges to modern and future programming, where concurrency and distribution are the norm rather than a marginal concern. The topic is central and combi…

This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth Workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming (MSFP 2022). The meeting took place on the 2nd of April as a satellite of European Joint Conferences on Theory & Practice of Software (ETAPS 2022). The MSFP workshop highlights applications of mathematical structures to programming applications. We promote the use of category theory, type theory, and formal language semantics to the development of simple and reasonable programs. As the range of papers presented in this year's workshop shows, this continues to be a fruitful interface.
This volume constitutes the pre-proceedings of the 26th International Workshop on Functional and Logic Programming (WFLP 2018). It is formed of those papers selected by the program committee for presentation at the workshop. After discussion at the workshop, the program committee will select a number of papers to be invited for the second round of refereeing and selection for the formal proceedings.
