Session types are types for specifying the protocols that communicating processes must follow in a concurrent system. When composing two or more well-typed processes, a session typing system must check whether such processes are multiparty…

Compositional methods are central to the development and verification of software systems. They allow to break down large systems into smaller components, while enabling reasoning about the behaviour of the composed system. For concurrent…

Information flow control type systems statically restrict the propagation of sensitive data to ensure end-to-end confidentiality. The property to be shown is noninterference, asserting that an attacker cannot infer any secrets from made…

Session types capture precise protocol structure in concurrent programming, but do not specify properties of the exchanged values beyond their basic type. Refinement types are a form of dependent types that can address this limitation,…

Replication is an alternative construct to recursion for describing infinite behaviours in the pi-calculus. In this paper we explore the implications of including type-level replication in Multiparty Session Types (MPST), a behavioural type…

We extend the semantics and type system of a lambda calculus equipped with common constructs to be "resource-aware". That is, the semantics keeps track of the usage of resources, and is stuck, besides in case of type errors, if either a…

Session types express and enforce safe communication in concurrent message-passing systems by statically capturing the interaction protocols between processes in the type. Recent works extend session types with arithmetic refinements, which…

Distributed systems have become increasingly prevalent in the software industry. Due to their intrinsic complexity, much research has focused on the verification of their behaviour. An active research line is around behaviour models that…

We show how systems of sessions types can enforce interactions to be bounded for all typable processes. The type system we propose is based on Lafont's soft linear logic and is strongly inspired by recent works about session types as…

Context-free session types provide a typing discipline for recursive structured communication protocols on bidirectional channels. They overcome the restriction of regular session type systems to tail recursive protocols. This extension…

Session types are abstractions of communication protocols enabling the static analysis of message-passing processes. Refinement notions for session types are key to support safe forms of process substitution while preserving their…

Deadlocks occur in concurrent programs as a consequence of cyclic resource acquisition between threads. In this paper we present a novel type system that guarantees deadlock freedom for a language with references, unstructured locking…

Protecting confidential data from leaking is a critical challenge in computer systems, particularly given the growing number of observers on the internet. Therefore, limiting information flow using robust security policies becomes…

Multiparty session types (MPST) are a robust typing framework that ensures safe and deadlock-free communication within distributed protocols. As these protocols grow in complexity, compositional modelling becomes increasingly important to…

The depth-bounded fragment of the pi-calculus is an expressive class of systems enjoying decidability of some important verification problems. Unfortunately membership of the fragment is undecidable. We propose a novel type system,…

This paper builds on prior work investigating the adaptation of session types to provide behavioural information about Elixir modules. A type system called ElixirST has been constructed to statically determine whether functions in an Elixir…

Session types provide a typing discipline for message-passing systems. However, their theory often assumes an ideal world: one in which everything is reliable and without failures. Yet this is in stark contrast with distributed systems in…

We present a type system that combines, in a controlled way, first-order polymorphism with intersectiontypes, union types, and subtyping, and prove its safety. We then define a type reconstruction algorithm that issound and terminating.…
