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.

Design-by-Contract for Flexible Multiparty Session Protocols (Artifact)

Authors: Lorenzo Gheri, Ivan Lanese, Neil Sayers, Emilio Tuosto, and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: DARTS, Volume 8, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)


Abstract
We introduce CAScr, the first implementation of Scribble (http://www.scribble.org, https://nuscr.dev/) that relies on choreography automata, for deadlock-free distributed programming. CAScr supports the main theoretical results and constructions in the related article. CAScr takes the popular top-down approach to system development, based on choreographic models, following the original methodology of Scribble and multiparty session types. The top-down approach enables correctness-by-construction: a developer provides a global description for the whole communication protocol; by projecting the global protocol, APIs are generated from local CFSMs, which ensure the safe implementation of each participant. The theory of choreography automata in the related article guarantees deadlock freedom for the distributed implementation of flexible global protocols. We target web development, supporting in particular the TypeScript programming language.

Design-By-Contract for Flexible Multiparty Session Protocols

Authors: Lorenzo Gheri, Ivan Lanese, Neil Sayers, Emilio Tuosto, and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 222, 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)


Abstract
Choreographic models support a correctness-by-construction principle in distributed programming. Also, they enable the automatic generation of correct message-based communication patterns from a global specification of the desired system behaviour. In this paper we extend the theory of choreography automata, a choreographic model based on finite-state automata, with two key features. First, we allow participants to act only in some of the scenarios described by the choreography automaton. While this seems natural, many choreographic approaches in the literature, and choreography automata in particular, forbid this behaviour. Second, we equip communications with assertions constraining the values that can be communicated, enabling a design-by-contract approach. We provide a toolchain allowing to exploit the theory above to generate APIs for TypeScript web programming. Programs communicating via the generated APIs follow, by construction, the prescribed communication pattern and are free from communication errors such as deadlocks.

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.
