Multiparty session types are a type system that can ensure the safety and liveness of distributed peers via the global specification of their interactions. To construct a global specification from a set of distributed uncontrolled…

This paper improves the session typing theory to support the modelling and verification of processes that implement federated learning protocols. To this end, we build upon the asynchronous ``bottom-up'' session typing approach by adding…

Multiparty session types (MSTs) are a type-based approach to verifying communication protocols, represented as global types in the framework. We present a precise subtyping relation for asynchronous MSTs with communicating state machines…

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…

Multiparty session types (MSTs) provide an efficient methodology for specifying and verifying message passing software systems. In the theory of MSTs, a global type specifies the interaction among the roles at the global level. A local…

In recent work, we have developed a session types discipline for a calculus that features the usual constructs for session establishment and communication, but also two novel constructs that enable communicating processes to be stopped,…

Imperative session types provide an imperative interface to session-typed communication. In such an interface, channel references are first-class objects with operations that change the typestate of the channel. Compared to functional…

Multiparty session types (MST) are a well-established type theory that describes the interactive structure of a fixed number of components from a global point of view and type-checks the components through projection of the global type onto…

MultiParty Session Types (MPST) provide a useful framework for safe concurrent systems. Mixed choice (enabling a participant to play at the same time the roles of sender and receiver) increases the expressive power of MPST as well as the…

We sketch a simple language of concurrent objects which explores the design space between type systems and continuous testing. In our language, programs are collections of communicating automata checked automatically for multiparty…

Behavioural types provide a promising way to achieve lightweight, language-integrated verification for communication-centric software. However, a large barrier to the adoption of behavioural types is that the current state of the art…

Ensuring correctness of communication in distributed systems remains challenging. To address this, Multiparty session types (MPST), initially introduced by Honda et al. [52, 53], offer a type discipline in which a programmer or architect…
