Multiparty session types (MPST) offer a framework for the description of communication-based protocols involving multiple participants. In the top-down approach to MPST, the communication pattern of the session is described using a global…

Session types enable the specification and verification of communicating systems. However, their theory often assumes that processes never fail. To address this limitation, we present a generalised multiparty session type (MPST) theory with…

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…

Multiparty session typing (MPST) is a method to make concurrent programming simpler. The idea is to use type checking to automatically detect safety and liveness violations of implementations relative to specifications. In practice, the…

Session types are a typing discipline used to formally describe communication-driven applications with the aim of fewer errors and easier debugging later into the life cycle of the software. Protocols at the transport layer such as TCP,…

Multiparty sessions are systems of concurrent processes, which allow several participants to communicate by sending and receiving messages. Their overall behaviour can be described by means of global types. Typable multiparty session enjoy…

This paper considers the challenging problem of establishing deadlock freedom for message-passing processes using behavioral type systems. In particular, we consider the case of processes that implement session types by communicating…

We present a multiparty session type (MST) framework with asynchronous mixed choice (MC). We propose a core construct for MC that allows transient inconsistencies in protocol state between distributed participants, but ensures all…

We consider a fully-decentralized scenario in which no central trusted entity exists and all clients are honest-but-curious. The state-of-the-art approaches to this problem often rely on cryptographic protocols, such as multiparty…

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…
