Programming distributed Erlang applications: pitfalls and recipes

We investigate the distributed part of the Erlang programming language, with an aim to develop robust distributed systems and algorithms running on top of Erlang runtime systems. Although the step to convert an application running on a single node to a fully distributed (multi-node) application is deceptively simple (changing calls to spawn so that processes are spawned on different nodes), there are some corner cases in the Erlang language and API
