Context-free session types describe structured patterns of communication on heterogeneously-typed channels, allowing the specification of protocols unconstrained by tail recursion. The enhanced expressive power provided by non-regular…

Session types statically prescribe bidirectional communication protocols for message-passing processes and are in a Curry-Howard correspondence with linear logic propositions. However, simple session types cannot specify properties beyond…

We present an extension of System F with higher-order context-free session types. The mixture of functional types with session types has proven to be a challenge for type equivalence formalization: whereas functional type equivalence is…

Session types denote message protocols between concurrent processes, allowing a type-safe expression of inter-process communication. Although previous work demonstrate a well-defined notion of subtyping where processes have different…

We present a type checking algorithm for establishing a session-based discipline in the pi calculus of Milner, Parrow and Walker. Our session types are qualified as linear or unrestricted. Linearly typed communication channels are…

We strive to use session type technology to prove behavioural properties of fault-tolerant distributed algorithms. Session types are designed to abstractly capture the structure of (even multi-party) communication protocols. The goal of…

Sessions are a fundamental notion in message-passing systems. A session is an abstract notion of communication between parties where each one owns an endpoint. Session types are types that are assigned to the endpoints and that are used to…

We present TLLC which extends the Two-Level Linear dependent type theory (TLL) with session-based concurrency. Equipped with Martin-L\"{o}f style dependency, the session types of TLLC allow protocols to specify properties of communicated…

We build on a fine-grained analysis of session-based interaction as provided by the linear logic typing disciplines to introduce the SAM, an abstract machine for mechanically executing session-typed processes. A remarkable feature of the…

There exists a broad family of multiparty sessions in which the progress of one session participant is not unconditional, but depends on the choices performed by other participants. These sessions fall outside the scope of currently…

We investigate how different fairness assumptions affect results concerning lock-freedom, a typical liveness property targeted by session type systems. We fix a minimal session calculus and systematically take into account all known…

The classes of depth-bounded and name-bounded processes are fragments of the pi-calculus for which some of the decision problems that are undecidable for the full calculus become decidable. P is depth-bounded at level k if every reduction…

We study a probabilistic variant of binary session types that relate to a class of Finite-State Markov Chains. The probability annotations in session types enable the reasoning on the probability that a session terminates successfully, for…

Behavioural type systems ensure more than the usual safety guarantees of static analysis. They are based on the idea of "types-as-processes", providing dedicated type algebras for particular properties, ranging from protocol compatibility…

Session types have emerged as a powerful paradigm for structuring communication-based programs. They guarantee type soundness and session fidelity for concurrent programs with sophisticated communication protocols. As type soundness proofs…

We address the problem of local type inference for a language based on System F with context-free session types. We present an algorithm that leverages the bidirectional type checking approach to propagate type information, enabling first…

Session types statically prescribe bidirectional communication protocols for message-passing processes. However, simple session types cannot specify properties beyond the type of exchanged messages. In this paper we extend the type system…

We propose a timed and soft extension of Concurrent Constraint Programming. The time extension is based on the hypothesis of bounded asynchrony: the computation takes a bounded period of time and is measured by a discrete global clock.…

Session types are types for specifying protocols that processes must follow when communicating with each other. Session types are in a propositions-as-types correspondence with linear logic. Previous work has shown that a multiparty session…

We present the first session typing system guaranteeing request-response liveness properties for possibly non-terminating communicating processes. The types augment the branch and select types of the standard binary session types with a set…
