DESCRIPTION:We present Cloud Haskell\, a domain-specific language for deve
 loping programs for a distributed-memory computing environment. Implemente
 d as a shallow embedding in Haskell\, it provides a message-passing commun
 ication model\, inspired by Erlang\, without introducing incompatibility w
 ith Haskell’s established shared-memory concurrency. A key contribution 
 is a method for serializing function closures for transmission across the 
 network.
