Compositional Design, Implementation, and Verification of Swarms

Authors: Florian Furbach, Lucas Clorius, Roland Kuhn, Hernán Melgratti, Alceste Scalas, and Emilio Tuosto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 372, 40th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2026)

Abstract
Swarm protocols are a recently introduced formalism for specifying, implementing, and verifying peer-to-peer systems called swarms. A swarm consists of distributed agents called machines that communicate by asynchronous event propagation. Following a local-first model, each machine can progress without requiring continuous connectivity to other machines. Existing models of swarms are not compositional, making the modular development of large and complex swarm applications as well as the reuse of code difficult. We address these issues by presenting novel theory and techniques for the compositional specification, verification, and implementation of swarms. These results enable the correct compositional reuse of pre-existing swarm protocols and machine implementations. We implement these contributions in a companion software artifact which enables the automatic integration of independently designed and verified swarm components.

Labelled Well Quasi Ordered Classes of Bounded Linear Clique-Width

Authors: Aliaume Lopez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
We construct an algorithm that inputs an MSO-interpretation from finite words to graphs, and decides if there exists a k ∈ ℕ such that the class of graphs induced by the interpretation is not well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation when vertices are freely labelled using {1, …, k}. In case no such k exists, we also prove that the class of graphs is not well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation when vertices are freely labelled using any well-quasi-ordered set of labels. As a byproduct of our analysis, we prove that for classes of bounded linear clique-width, a weak version of a conjecture by Pouzet holds.

Abstract Subtyping for Asynchronous Multiparty Sessions

Authors: Laura Bocchi, Andy King, Maurizio Murgia, and Simon Thompson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Session subtyping answers the question of whether a program in a communicating system can be safely substituted for another, when their communication behaviour is described by session types. Asynchronous session subtyping is undecidable, even for two participants, hence the interest in sound, but incomplete, subtyping algorithms. Asynchronous multiparty subtyping can be formulated by decomposing session types into single input and output types which preclude, respectively, external and internal choice. This paper shows how abstract interpretation can sit atop this approach and how it leads to an algorithm that can prove subtyping for intricate communication patterns.

Quantitative Language Automata

Authors: Thomas A. Henzinger, Pavol Kebis, Nicolas Mazzocchi, and N. Ege Saraç

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
A quantitative word automaton (QWA) defines a function from infinite words to values. For example, every infinite run of a limit-average QWA 𝒜 obtains a mean payoff, and every word w ∈ Σ^ω is assigned the maximal mean payoff obtained by nondeterministic runs of 𝒜 over w. We introduce quantitative language automata (QLAs) that define functions from language generators (i.e., implementations) to values, where a language generator can be nonprobabilistic, defining a set of infinite words, or probabilistic, defining a probability measure over infinite words. A QLA consists of a QWA and an aggregator function. For example, given a QWA 𝒜, the infimum aggregator maps each language L ⊆ Σ^ω to the greatest lower bound assigned by 𝒜 to any word in L. For boolean value sets, QWAs define boolean properties of traces, and QLAs define boolean properties of sets of traces, i.e., hyperproperties. For more general value sets, QLAs serve as a specification language for a generalization of hyperproperties, called quantitative hyperproperties. A nonprobabilistic (resp. probabilistic) quantitative hyperproperty assigns a value to each set (resp. distribution) G of traces, e.g., the minimal (resp. expected) average response time exhibited by the traces in G. We give several examples of quantitative hyperproperties and investigate three paradigmatic problems for QLAs: evaluation, nonemptiness, and universality. In the evaluation problem, given a QLA 𝔸 and an implementation G, we ask for the value that 𝔸 assigns to G. In the nonemptiness (resp. universality) problem, given a QLA 𝔸 and a value k, we ask whether 𝔸 assigns at least k to some (resp. every) language. We provide a comprehensive picture of decidability for these problems for QLAs with common aggregators as well as their restrictions to ω-regular languages and trace distributions generated by finite-state Markov chains.

Fair Join Pattern Matching for Actors

Authors: Philipp Haller, Ayman Hussein, Hernán Melgratti, Alceste Scalas, and Emilio Tuosto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Join patterns provide a promising approach to the development of concurrent and distributed message-passing applications. Several variations and implementations have been presented in the literature - but various aspects remain under-explored: in particular, how to specify a suitable notion of message matching, how to implement it correctly and efficiently, and how to systematically evaluate the implementation performance. In this work we focus on actor-based programming, and study the application of join patterns with conditional guards (i.e., the most expressive and challenging version of join patterns in literature). We formalise a novel specification of fair and deterministic join pattern matching, ensuring that older messages are always consumed if they can be matched. We present a stateful, tree-based join pattern matching algorithm and prove that it correctly implements our fair and deterministic matching specification. We present a novel Scala 3 actor library (called JoinActors) that implements our join pattern formalisation, leveraging macros to provide an intuitive API. Finally, we evaluate the performance of our implementation, by introducing a systematic benchmarking approach that takes into account the nuances of join pattern matching (in particular, its sensitivity to input traffic and complexity of patterns and guards).

Behavioural Types for Local-First Software

Authors: Roland Kuhn, Hernán Melgratti, and Emilio Tuosto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 263, 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)

Abstract
Peer-to-peer systems are the most resilient form of distributed computing, but the design of robust protocols for their coordination is difficult. This makes it hard to specify and reason about global behaviour of such systems. This paper presents swarm protocols to specify such systems from a global viewpoint. Swarm protocols are projected to machines, that is local specifications of peers. We take inspiration from behavioural types with a key difference: peers communicate through an event notification mechanism rather than through point-to-point message passing. Our goal is to adhere to the principles of local-first software where network devices collaborate on a common task while retaining full autonomy: every participating device can locally make progress at all times, not encumbered by unavailability of other devices or network connections. This coordination-free approach leads to inconsistencies that may emerge during computations. Our main result shows that under suitable well-formedness conditions for swarm protocols consistency is eventually recovered and the locally observable behaviour of conforming machines will eventually match the global specification. Our model elaborates on the Actyx industrial platform and provides the basis for tool support: we sketch an implemented prototype which proves this work a viable step towards reasoning about local-first and peer-to-peer software systems.

Behavioural Types for Local-First Software (Artifact)

Authors: Roland Kuhn, Hernán Melgratti, and Emilio Tuosto

Published in: DARTS, Volume 9, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)

Abstract
This artifact supports the theory of swarm protocols presented in the related article. Specifically, following the top-down development typical of choreographic approaches, our artifact enables the specification of systems of peers communicating through an event notification mechanism from a global viewpoint which can then be projected to local specifications of peers, rendered as machines. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first implementation of a behavioural type framework supporting the application of the principles of local-first software for network devices which collaborate on a common task while retaining full autonomy. The artifact can be integrated in the Actyx industrial platform; this proves this work a viable step towards reasoning about local-first and peer-to-peer software systems.

Probabilistic Analysis of Binary Sessions

Authors: Omar Inverso, Hernán Melgratti, Luca Padovani, Catia Trubiani, and Emilio Tuosto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 171, 31st International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2020)

Abstract
We study a probabilistic variant of binary session types that relate to a class of Finite-State Markov Chains. The probability annotations in session types enable the reasoning on the probability that a session terminates successfully, for some user-definable notion of successful termination. We develop a type system for a simple session calculus featuring probabilistic choices and show that the success probability of well-typed processes agrees with that of the sessions they use. To this aim, the type system needs to track the propagation of probabilistic choices across different sessions.

A Categorical Account of Replicated Data Types

Authors: Fabio Gadducci, Hernán Melgratti, Christian Roldán, and Matteo Sammartino

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)

Abstract
Replicated Data Types (RDTs) have been introduced as a suitable abstraction for dealing with weakly consistent data stores, which may (temporarily) expose multiple, inconsistent views of their state. In the literature, RDTs are commonly specified in terms of two relations: visibility, which accounts for the different views that a store may have, and arbitration, which states the logical order imposed on the operations executed over the store. Different flavours, e.g., operational, axiomatic and functional, have recently been proposed for the specification of RDTs. In this work, we propose an algebraic characterisation of RDT specifications. We define categories of visibility relations and arbitrations, show the existence of relevant limits and colimits, and characterize RDT specifications as functors between such categories that preserve these additional structures.
