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…

Relating the specification of the global communication behavior of a distributed system and the specifications of the local communication behavior of each of its nodes/peers (e.g., to check if the former is realizable by the latter under…

We introduce a denotational semantic framework for shared-memory concurrent programs in a C11-style memory model. This denotational approach is an alternative to techniques based on "execution graphs" and axiomatizations, and it allows for…

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…

Side effects are a core part of practical programming. However, they are often hard to reason about, particularly in a concurrent setting. We propose a foundation for reasoning about concurrent side effects using sessions. Primarily, we…

Multiparty session types (MSTs) provide efficient means to specify and verify asynchronous message-passing systems. For a global type, which specifies all interactions between roles in a system, the implementability problem asks whether…

We present Most, a process language with message-observing session types. Message-observing session types extend binary session types with type-level computation to specify communication protocols that vary based on messages observed on…

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.

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…

Message passing is a key ingredient of concurrent programming. The purpose of this paper is to describe the equivalence between the proof theory, the categorical semantics, and term calculus of message passing. In order to achieve this we…
