We review the close relationship between abstract machines for (call-by-name or call-by-value) lambda-calculi (extended with Felleisen's C) and sequent calculus, reintroducing on the way Curien-Herbelin's syntactic kit expressing the…

The central focus is on clarifying the distinction between sets and proper classes. To this end we identify several categories of concepts (surveyable, definite, indefinite), and we attribute the classical set theoretic paradoxes to a…

Session types are used to describe and structure interactions between independent processes in distributed systems. Higher-order types are needed in order to properly structure delegation of responsibility between processes. In this paper…

Session types are becoming popular and have been integrated in several mainstream programming languages. Nevertheless, while many programming languages consider asynchronous fifo channel communication, the notion of subtyping used in…

Many type systems include infinite types. In session type systems, which are the focus of this paper, infinite types are important because they allow the specification of communication protocols that are unbounded in time. Usually infinite…

The notion of subtyping has gained an important role both in theoretical and applicative domains: in lambda and concurrent calculi as well as in programming languages. The soundness and the completeness, together referred to as the…

We first present a Priestley-style dualitiy for the classes of algebras that are the algebraic counterpart of some congruential, finitary and filter-distributive logic with theorems. Then we analyze which properties of the dual spaces…

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…

In the setting of the pi-calculus with binary sessions, we aim at relaxing the notion of duality of session types by the concept of retractable compliance developed in contract theory. This leads to extending session types with a new type…

Up to now session types have been used under the assumptions of point to point communication, to ensure the linearity of session endpoints, and reliable communication, to ensure send/receive duality. In this paper we define a session type…

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…

Session types statically describe communication protocols between concurrent message-passing processes. Unfortunately, parametric polymorphism even in its restricted prenex form is not fully understood in the context of session types. In…

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…

Session types are a typed approach to message-passing concurrency, where types describe sequences of intended exchanges over channels. Session type systems have been given strong logical foundations via Curry-Howard correspondences with…

A multiparty session formalises a set of concurrent communicating participants. We propose a type system for multiparty sessions where some communications between participants can be ignored. This allows us to type some sessions with global…

We advocate an account of dualities between physical theories: the basic idea is that dual theories are isomorphic representations of a common core. We defend and illustrate this account, which we call a Schema, in relation to symmetries.…

Session types are a type discipline for describing and specifying communication behaviours of concurrent processes. Session subtyping, firstly introduced by Gay and Hole, is widely used for enlarging typability of session programs. This…

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…

A paraconsistent type theory (an extension of a fragment of intuitionistic type theory by adding opposite types) is here extended by adding co-function types. It is shown that, in the extended paraconsistent type system, the opposite type…

All formalizations of session types rely on linear types for soundness as session-typed communication channels must change their type at every operation. Embedded language implementations of session types follow suit. They either rely on…
