NEST: Network Enforced Session Types

Authors: Jens Kanstrup Larsen, Alceste Scalas, Guy Amir, Jules Jacobs, Jana Wagemaker, and Nate Foster

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

Abstract
This paper introduces NEST (Network Enforced Session Types), a runtime verification framework that moves application-level protocol monitoring into the network fabric. Unlike prior work that instruments or wraps application code, we synthesise packet-level monitors that enforce protocols directly in the data plane. We develop algorithms to generate network-level monitors from session types and extend them to handle packet loss and reordering. We implement NEST in P4 and evaluate it on applications including microservice and network-function models, showing that network-level monitors can enforce realistic non-trivial protocols.

NEST: Network Enforced Session Types (Artifact)

Authors: Jens Kanstrup Larsen, Alceste Scalas, Guy Amir, Jules Jacobs, Jana Wagemaker, and Nate Foster

Published in: DARTS, Volume 12, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 40th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2026)

Abstract
This artifact contains NEST: a tool for synthesizing network-level runtime monitors from application-level protocols specified as session types. More specifically, NEST takes as input one or more session types, and generates (1) a set of table entries to be uploaded on network switches that support the P4 standard, and (2) a Python API allowing applications to send/receive messages that carry the packet headers required for the network-level monitoring to work. This artifact also contains the code for reproducing the examples and measurements in the companion paper.

Centralized vs Decentralized Monitors for Hyperproperties

Authors: Luca Aceto, Antonis Achilleos, Elli Anastasiadi, Adrian Francalanza, Daniele Gorla, and Jana Wagemaker

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 311, 35th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2024)

Abstract
This paper focuses on the runtime verification of hyperproperties expressed in Hyper-recHML, an expressive yet simple logic for describing properties of sets of traces. To this end, we consider a simple language of monitors that observe sets of system executions and report verdicts w.r.t. a given Hyper-recHML formula. We first employ a unique omniscient monitor that centrally observes all system traces. Since centralised monitors are not ideal for distributed settings, we also provide a language for decentralized monitors, where each trace has a dedicated monitor; these monitors yield a unique verdict by communicating their observations to one another. For both the centralized and the decentralized settings, we provide a synthesis procedure that, given a formula, yields a monitor that is correct (i.e., sound and violation complete). A key step in proving the correctness of the synthesis for decentralized monitors is a result showing that, for each formula, the synthesized centralized monitor and its corresponding decentralized one are weakly bisimilar for a suitable notion of weak bisimulation.

Completeness Theorems for Kleene Algebra with Top

Authors: Damien Pous and Jana Wagemaker

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 243, 33rd International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2022)

Abstract
We prove two completeness results for Kleene algebra with a top element, with respect to languages and binary relations. While the equational theories of those two classes of models coincide over the signature of Kleene algebra, this is no longer the case when we consider an additional constant "top" for the full element. Indeed, the full relation satisfies more laws than the full language, and we show that those additional laws can all be derived from a single additional axiom. We recover that the two equational theories coincide if we slightly generalise the notion of relational model, allowing sub-algebras of relations where top is a greatest element but not necessarily the full relation. We use models of closed languages and reductions in order to prove our completeness results, which are relative to any axiomatisation of the algebra of regular events.

Partially Observable Concurrent Kleene Algebra

Authors: Jana Wagemaker, Paul Brunet, Simon Docherty, Tobias Kappé, Jurriaan Rot, and Alexandra Silva

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

Abstract
We introduce partially observable concurrent Kleene algebra (POCKA), an algebraic framework to reason about concurrent programs with variables as well as control structures, such as conditionals and loops, that depend on those variables. We illustrate the use of POCKA through concrete examples. We prove that POCKA is a sound and complete axiomatisation of a model of partial observations, and show the semantics passes an important check for sequential consistency.

Kleene Algebra with Observations

Authors: Tobias Kappé, Paul Brunet, Jurriaan Rot, Alexandra Silva, Jana Wagemaker, and Fabio Zanasi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 140, 30th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2019)

Abstract
Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) is an algebraic framework for reasoning about the control flow of sequential programs. Generalising KAT to reason about concurrent programs is not straightforward, because axioms native to KAT in conjunction with expected axioms for concurrency lead to an anomalous equation. In this paper, we propose Kleene algebra with observations (KAO), a variant of KAT, as an alternative foundation for extending KAT to a concurrent setting. We characterise the free model of KAO, and establish a decision procedure w.r.t. its equational theory.
