Session-types specify communication protocols for communicating processes, and session-typed languages are often specified using substructural operational semantics given by multiset rewriting systems. We give an observed communication…

We propose a simple calculus for processing data streams (infinite flows of data series), represented by finite sets of equations built on stream operators. Furthermore, functions defining streams are regularly corecursive, that is, cyclic…

Session types are used to describe communication protocols in distributed systems and, as usual in type theories, session subtyping characterizes substitutability of the communicating processes. We investigate the (un)decidability of…

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…

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,…

Prior work has extended the deep, logical connection between the linear sequent calculus and session-typed message-passing concurrent computation with equi-recursive types and a natural notion of subtyping. In this paper, we extend this…

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…

Session types provide guarantees about concurrent behaviour and can be understood through their correspondence with linear logic, with propositions as sessions and proofs as processes. However, a strictly linear setting is somewhat…

We present a calculus for processing semistructured data that spans differences of application area among several novel query languages, broadly categorized as "NoSQL". This calculus lets users define their own operators, capturing a wider…

Session types provide a principled approach to typed communication protocols that guarantee type safety and protocol fidelity. Formalizations of session-typed communication are typically based on process calculi, concurrent lambda calculi,…

Timed session types formalise timed communication protocols between two participants at the endpoints of a session. They feature a decidable compliance relation, which generalises to the timed setting the progress-based compliance between…

We present an asynchronous calculus for multiparty sessions with mixed choice, which extends the Simple MultiParty Session framework in order to support nondeterministic choices with both input and output prefixes. Global types -- equipped…

We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…

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…

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 propose a type system for a calculus of contracting processes. Processes can establish sessions by stipulating contracts, and then can interact either by keeping the promises made, or not. Type safety guarantees that a typeable process…

Continuation Calculus (CC), introduced by Geron and Geuvers, is a simple foundational model for functional computation. It is closely related to lambda calculus and term rewriting, but it has no variable binding and no pattern matching. It…

While formal models of concurrency tend to focus on synchronous communication, asynchronous communication is relevant in practice. In this paper, we will discuss asynchronous communication in the context of session-based concurrency, the…
