There exists a broad family of multiparty sessions in which the progress of one session participant is not unconditional, but depends on the choices performed by other participants. These sessions fall outside the scope of currently…

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…

This paper improves the session typing theory to support the modelling and verification of processes that implement federated learning protocols. To this end, we build upon the asynchronous ``bottom-up'' session typing approach by adding…

Multiparty session types (MPST) are a specification and verification framework for distributed message-passing systems. The communication protocol of the system is specified as a global type, from which a collection of local types (local…

Multiparty session types (MP) are a type discipline for enforcing the structured, deadlock-free communication of concurrent and message-passing programs. Traditional MP have a limited form of choice in which alternative communication…

Session types allow communication protocols to be specified type-theoretically so that protocol implementations can be verified by static type checking. We extend previous work on session types for distributed object-oriented languages in…

Session types have been proposed as a means of statically verifying implementations of communication protocols. Although prior work has been successful in verifying some classes of protocols, it does not cope well with parameterized,…

Multiparty Session Types (MPSTs) offer a structured way of specifying communication protocols and guarantee relevant communication properties, such as deadlock-freedom. In this paper, we extend a minimal MPST system with quantum data and…

We propose an interpretation of multiparty sessions as "flow event structures", which allows concurrency between communications within a session to be explicitly represented. We show that this interpretation is equivalent, when the…

Multiparty session types (MSTs) are a type-based approach to verifying communication protocols, represented as global types in the framework. We present a precise subtyping relation for asynchronous MSTs with communicating state machines…

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 are designed to abstractly capture the structure of communication protocols and verify behavioural properties. One important such property is progress, i.e., the absence of deadlock. Distributed algorithms often…

This paper presents the first formalisation of the precise subtyping relation for asynchronous multiparty sessions. We show that our subtyping relation is sound (i.e., guarantees safe process replacement) and also complete: any extension of…

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,…

The additional complexity caused by concurrently communicating processes in distributed systems render the verification of such systems into a very hard problem. Multiparty session types were developed to govern communication and…

We propose a calculus for asynchronous multiparty sessions where input choices with different senders are allowed in processes. We present a type system that accepts such input races provided they do not hinder lock-freedom.

This paper deals with the probabilistic behaviours of distributed systems described by a process calculus considering both probabilistic internal choices and nondeterministic external choices. For this calculus we define and study a typing…

Reversible interactions model different scenarios, like biochemical systems and human as well as automatic negotiations. We abstract interactions via multiparty sessions enriched with named checkpoints. Computations can either go forward or…
