Minimal Session Types (Artifact)

Abstract

This artifact contains MISTY, a tool that decomposes message-passing programs with session types into programs typable with the minimal session types we introduce in our ECOOP paper. MISTY incorporates a domain-specific language for message-passing concurrency based on a higher-order process calculus with {session types}. Given a source program in this language, MISTY follows the results in our ECOOP paper to produce LaTeX code for its corresponding decomposition. To demonstrate the tight connection between source and decomposed programs, MISTY also allows users to simulate their corresponding reductions.

Minimal Session Types (Pearl)

Abstract

Session types are a type-based approach to the verification of message-passing programs. They have been much studied as type systems for the pi-calculus and for languages such as Java. A session type specifies what and when should be exchanged through a channel. Central to session-typed languages are constructs in types and processes that specify sequencing in protocols. Here we study minimal session types, session types without sequencing. This is arguably the simplest form of session types. By relying on a core process calculus with sessions and higher-order concurrency (abstraction-passing), we prove that every process typable with standard (non minimal) session types can be compiled down into a process typed with minimal session types. This means that having sequencing constructs in both processes and session types is redundant; only sequentiality in processes is indispensable, as it can precisely codify sequentiality in types. Our developments draw inspiration from work by Parrow on behavior-preserving decompositions of untyped processes. By casting Parrow’s results in the realm of typed processes, our results reveal a conceptually simple formulation of session types and a principled avenue to the integration of session types into languages without sequencing in types.
