We present the first session typing system guaranteeing request-response liveness properties for possibly non-terminating communicating processes. The types augment the branch and select types of the standard binary session types with a set…

Designing and analysing multiparty distributed interactions can be achieved either by means of a global view (e.g. in choreography-based approaches) or by composing available computational entities (e.g. in service orchestration). This…

Session types are formal specifications of communication protocols, allowing protocol implementations to be verified by typechecking. Up to now, session type disciplines have assumed that the communication medium is reliable, with no loss…

Subtyping in concurrency has been extensively studied since early 1990s as one of the most interesting issues in type theory. The correctness of subtyping relations has been usually provided as the soundness for type safety. The converse…

We propose a type-based analysis to infer the session protocols of channels in an ML-like concurrent functional language. Combining and extending well-known techniques, we develop a type-checking system that separates the underlying ML type…

In concurrent and distributed systems, software components are expected to communicate according to predetermined protocols and APIs - and if a component does not observe them, the system's reliability is compromised. Furthermore, isolating…

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…

Session types offer a type-based discipline for enforcing communication protocols in distributed programming. We have previously formalized simple session types in the setting of multi-threaded $\lambda$-calculus with linear types. In this…

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…

Session types are a type-based approach to the verification of message-passing programs. They specify communication structures essential to enforcing program correctness; by relying on sequencing constructs, a session type can precisely…

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…
