Ozone: Fully Out-of-Order Choreographies

Authors: Dan Plyukhin, Marco Peressotti, and Fabrizio Montesi

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

Abstract
Choreographic programming is a paradigm for writing distributed applications. It allows programmers to write a single program, called a choreography, that can be compiled to generate correct implementations of each process in the application. Although choreographies provide good static guarantees, they can exhibit high latency when messages or processes are delayed. This is because processes in a choreography typically execute in a fixed, deterministic order, and cannot adapt to the order that messages arrive at runtime. In non-choreographic code, programmers can address this problem by allowing processes to execute out of order - for instance by using futures or reactive programming. However, in choreographic code, out-of-order process execution can lead to serious and subtle bugs, called communication integrity violations (CIVs). In this paper, we develop a model of choreographic programming for out-of-order processes that guarantees absence of CIVs and deadlocks. As an application of our approach, we also introduce an API for safe non-blocking communication via futures in the choreographic programming language Choral. The API allows processes to execute out of order, participate in multiple choreographies concurrently, and to handle unordered data messages. We provide an illustrative evaluation of our API, showing that out-of-order execution can reduce latency and increase throughput by overlapping communication with computation.

Modular Choreographies: Bridging Alice and Bob Notation to Java

Authors: Luís Cruz-Filipe, Anne Madsen, Fabrizio Montesi, and Marco Peressotti

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 111, Joint Post-proceedings of the Third and Fourth International Conference on Microservices (Microservices 2020/2022)

Abstract
We present Modular Choreographies, a new choreographic programming language that features modular functions. Modular Choreographies is aimed at simplicity: its communication abstraction follows the simple tradition from the "Alice and Bob" notation. We develop a compiler toolchain that translates choreographies into modular Java libraries, which developers can use to participate correctly in choreographies. The key novelty is to compile through the Choral language, which was previously proposed to define object-oriented choreographies: our toolchain compiles Modular Choreographies to Choral, and then leverages the existing Choral compiler to generate Java code. Our work is the first to bridge the simplicity of traditional choreographic programming languages with the requirement of generating modular libraries in a mainstream language (Java).

Model-Driven Code Generation for Microservices: Service Models

Authors: Saverio Giallorenzo, Fabrizio Montesi, Marco Peressotti, and Florian Rademacher

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 111, Joint Post-proceedings of the Third and Fourth International Conference on Microservices (Microservices 2020/2022)

Abstract
We formally define and implement a translation of domain and service models expressed in the LEMMA modelling ecosystem for microservice architectures to source code in the Jolie microservice programming language. Specifically, our work extends previous efforts on the generation of Jolie code to the inclusion of the LEMMA service modelling layer. We also contribute an implementation of our translation, given as an extension of the LEMMA2Jolie tool, which enables the practical application of our encoding. As a result, LEMMA2Jolie now supports a software development process whereby microservice architectures can first be designed by microservice developers in collaboration with domain experts in LEMMA, and then be automatically translated into Jolie APIs. Our tool can thus be used to enhance productivity and improve design adherence.

Modular Compilation for Higher-Order Functional Choreographies

Authors: Luís Cruz-Filipe, Eva Graversen, Lovro Lugović, Fabrizio Montesi, and Marco Peressotti

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

Abstract
Choreographic programming is a paradigm for concurrent and distributed software, whereby descriptions of the intended communications (choreographies) are automatically compiled into distributed code with strong safety and liveness properties (e.g., deadlock-freedom). Recent efforts tried to combine the theories of choreographic programming and higher-order functional programming, in order to integrate the benefits of the former with the modularity of the latter. However, they do not offer a satisfactory theory of compilation compared to the literature, because of important syntactic and semantic shortcomings: compilation is not modular (editing a part might require recompiling everything) and the generated code can perform unexpected global synchronisations. In this paper, we find that these shortcomings are not mere coincidences. Rather, they stem from genuine new challenges posed by the integration of choreographies and functions: knowing which participants are involved in a choreography becomes nontrivial, and divergence in applications requires rethinking how to prove the semantic correctness of compilation. We present a novel theory of compilation for functional choreographies that overcomes these challenges, based on types and a careful design of the semantics of choreographies and distributed code. The result: a modular notion of compilation, which produces code that is deadlock-free and correct (it operationally corresponds to its source choreography).

Multiparty Languages: The Choreographic and Multitier Cases (Pearl)

Authors: Saverio Giallorenzo, Fabrizio Montesi, Marco Peressotti, David Richter, Guido Salvaneschi, and Pascal Weisenburger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 194, 35th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2021)

Abstract
Choreographic languages aim to express multiparty communication protocols, by providing primitives that make interaction manifest. Multitier languages enable programming computation that spans across several tiers of a distributed system, by supporting primitives that allow computation to change the location of execution. Rooted into different theoretical underpinnings - respectively process calculi and lambda calculus - the two paradigms have been investigated independently by different research communities with little or no contact. As a result, the link between the two paradigms has remained hidden for long. In this paper, we show that choreographic languages and multitier languages are surprisingly similar. We substantiate our claim by isolating the core abstractions that differentiate the two approaches and by providing algorithms that translate one into the other in a straightforward way. We believe that this work paves the way for joint research and cross-fertilisation among the two communities.

Formalising a Turing-Complete Choreographic Language in Coq

Authors: Luís Cruz-Filipe, Fabrizio Montesi, and Marco Peressotti

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)

Abstract
The theory of choreographic languages typically includes a number of complex results that are proved by structural induction. The high number of cases and the subtle details in some of them lead to long reviewing processes, and occasionally to errors being found in published proofs. In this work, we take a published proof of Turing completeness of a choreographic language and formalise it in Coq. Our development includes formalising the choreographic language, its basic properties, Kleene’s theory of partial recursive functions, the encoding of these functions as choreographies, and a proof that this encoding is correct. With this effort, we show that theorem proving can be a very useful tool in the field of choreographic languages: besides the added degree of confidence that we get from a mechanised proof, the formalisation process led us to a significant simplification of the underlying theory. Our results offer a foundation for the future formal development of choreographic languages.

A Uniform Framework for Timed Automata

Authors: Tomasz Brengos and Marco Peressotti

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 59, 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2016)

Abstract
Timed automata, and machines alike, currently lack a general mathematical characterisation. In this paper we provide a uniform coalgebraic understanding of these devices. This framework encompasses known behavioural equivalences for timed automata and paves the way for the extension of these notions to new timed behaviours and for the instantiation of established results from the coalgebraic theory as well. Key to this work is the use of lax functors for they allow us to model time flow as a context property and hence offer a general and expressive setting where to study timed systems: the index category encodes "how step sequences form executions" (e.g. whether steps duration get accumulated or kept distinct) whereas the base category encodes "step nature and composition" (e.g. non-determinism and labels). Finally, we develop the notion of general saturation for lax functors and show how equivalences of interest for timed behaviours are instances of this notion. This characterisation allows us to reason about the expressiveness of said notions within a uniform framework and organise them in a spectrum independent from the behavioural aspects encoded in the base category.
