<p><em>Introduction</em> <br></br>
This documentation describes the Open
Telecom Platform (Erlang/OTP), a middle-ware based on the Erlang
programming language, aiming at providing time-saving and flexible
development for robust, adaptable telecom systems.</p>
<p><em>Organization of the Documentation</em> <br></br>
The documentation is divided into eight parts:</p>

<p><em>About this Book</em> <br></br>
This book is the starting point of the documentation and contains information about the Erlang programming language and runtime system, the OTP design principles, and how to install and configure Erlang/OTP.</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>Chapter 1: Introduction</item>
<item>Chapter 2: "Getting Started with Erlang" gives an introduction to the Erlang runtime system and to tools such as Compiler and Debugger.</item>
<item>Chapter 3: "OTP Design Principles" describes a way to structure Erlang code in terms of applications and supervision trees. The standard behaviors are described and examples illustrate how to apply these behaviors to typical applications.</item>
<item>Chapter 4: "System Principles" describes the strategies
and options, which are available to start an Erlang/OTP system. </item>
<item>Chapter 5: "Operation and Management Principles" describes the model for operation and maintenance of sub-systems.</item>
<item>Chapter 6: "Installation Guide"gives guidelines on how to install Erlang/OTP on UNIX or Windows.</item>
<item>Chapter 7: "Embedded Systems" is a supplement to "Installation Guide", It describes issues that are specific for running Erlang/OTP on an embedded system.</item>
<item>Chapter 8: "Erlang Extensions Since 4.4" lists all extensions to the Erlang programming languages since the latest version of the book <em>Concurrent Programming in ERLANG</em>.</item>
<item>Chapter 9: "Interoperability Tutorial" gives an orientation of the different
interoperability mechanisms, which can be used when integrating an
Erlang program with a program written in an other programming language.</item>
