Abstract

We present as a case study, the development of an application in automated image microscopy, using the functional programming languages Gofer and Haskell. Gofer is used as a formal specification language and subsequently for animation. I/O is sequenced by an I/O monad similar to that proposed for Haskell 1.3. The final implementation is in Haskell 1.2, although pragmatically, a C-coded image processing library is exploited.
