Multiparty session types provide a type discipline for ensuring communication safety, deadlock-freedom and liveness for multiple concurrently running participants. The original formulation of MPST takes the top-down approach, where a global…

With distributed computing becoming ubiquitous in the modern era, safe distributed programming is an open challenge. To address this, multiparty session types (MPST) provide a typing discipline for message-passing concurrency, guaranteeing…

Multiparty session types (MSTs) are a type-based approach to verifying communication protocols. Central to MSTs is a projection operator: a partial function that maps protocols represented as global types to correct-by-construction…

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…

Concurrent systems are often complex and difficult to design. Choreographic languages, such as Multiparty Session Types (MPST), allow the description of global protocols of interactions by capturing valid patterns of interactions between…

Modern web applications combine persistent state updates, concurrent interactions, and unreliable communication with external services. Failures such as timeouts can occur after partial state changes, producing temporary inconsistencies…

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…

Most works on session types take an equi-recursive approach and do not distinguish among a recursive type and its unfolding. This becomes more important in recent type systems which do not require global types, also known as generalised…

In this work, we incorporate reversibility into structured communication-based programming, to allow parties of a session to automatically undo, in a rollback fashion, the effect of previously executed interactions. This permits taking…

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…

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…

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…

Context-free session types provide a typing discipline for recursive structured communication protocols on bidirectional channels. They overcome the restriction of regular session type systems to tail recursive protocols. This extension…

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…

The scenario-based specification of a large distributed system is usually naturally decomposed into various modules. The integration of specification modules contrasts to the parallel composition of program components, and includes various…

In this paper we introduce imprecise probability for session types. More exactly, we use a probabilistic process calculus in which both nondeterministic external choice and probabilistic internal choice are considered. We propose the…

Protocols provide the unifying glue in concurrent and distributed software today; verifying that message-passing programs conform to such governing protocols is important but difficult. Static approaches based on multiparty session types…

Programs are more distributed and concurrent today than ever before, and structural communications are at the core. Constructing and debugging such programs are hard due to the lack of formal specification/verification of concurrency. This…
