Meaningfulness and Genericity in a Subsuming Framework (Invited Talk)

Authors: Delia Kesner, Victor Arrial, and Giulio Guerrieri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
This paper studies the notion of meaningfulness for a unifying framework called dBang-calculus, which subsumes both call-by-name (dCBN) and call-by-value (dCBV). We first define meaningfulness in dBang and then characterize it by means of typability and inhabitation in an associated non-idempotent intersection type system previously appearing in the literature. We validate the proposed notion of meaningfulness by showing two properties: (1) consistency of the smallest theory, called ℋ, equating all meaningless terms, and (2) genericity, stating that meaningless subterms have no bearing on the significance of meaningful terms. The theory ℋ is also shown to have a unique consistent and maximal extension ℋ*, which coincides with a well-known notion of observational equivalence. Last but not least, we show that the notions of meaningfulness and genericity in the literature for dCBN and dCBV are subsumed by the corresponding ones proposed here for the dBang-calculus.

Optimizing a Non-Deterministic Abstract Machine with Environments

Authors: Małgorzata Biernacka, Dariusz Biernacki, Sergueï Lenglet, and Alan Schmitt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
Non-deterministic abstract machine (NDAM) is a recent implementation model for programming languages where one must choose among several redexes at each reduction step, like process calculi. These machines can be derived from a zipper semantics, a mix between structural operational semantics and context-based reduction semantics. Such a machine has been generated also for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy, i.e., with the full non-deterministic β-reduction. In that machine, substitution is an external operation that replaces all the occurrences of a variable at once. Implementing substitution with environments is more low-level and more efficient as variables are replaced only when needed. In this paper, we define a NDAM with environments for the λ-calculus without a fixed reduction strategy. We also introduce other optimizations, including a form of refocusing, and we show that we can restrict our optimized NDAM to recover some of the usual λ-calculus machines, e.g., the Krivine Abstract Machine. Most of the improvements we propose in this work could be applied to other NDAMs as well.

Mirroring Call-By-Need, or Values Acting Silly

Authors: Beniamino Accattoli and Adrienne Lancelot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
Call-by-need evaluation for the λ-calculus can be seen as merging the best of call-by-name and call-by-value, namely the wise erasing behaviour of the former and the wise duplicating behaviour of the latter. To better understand how duplication and erasure can be combined, we design a degenerated calculus, dubbed call-by-silly, that is symmetric to call-by-need in that it merges the worst of call-by-name and call-by-value, namely silly duplications by-name and silly erasures by-value. We validate the design of the call-by-silly calculus via rewriting properties and multi types. In particular, we mirror the main theorem about call-by-need - that is, its operational equivalence with call-by-name - showing that call-by-silly and call-by-value induce the same contextual equivalence. This fact shows the blindness with respect to efficiency of call-by-value contextual equivalence. We also define a call-by-silly strategy and measure its length via tight multi types. Lastly, we prove that the call-by-silly strategy computes evaluation sequences of maximal length in the calculus.

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.

The Servers of Serverless Computing: A Formal Revisitation of Functions as a Service

Authors: Saverio Giallorenzo, Ivan Lanese, Fabrizio Montesi, Davide Sangiorgi, and Stefano Pio Zingaro

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 86, Recent Developments in the Design and Implementation of Programming Languages (2020)

Abstract
Serverless computing is a paradigm for programming cloud applications in terms of stateless functions, executed and scaled in proportion to inbound requests. Here, we revisit SKC, a calculus capturing the essential features of serverless programming. By exploring the design space of the language, we refined the integration between the fundamental features of the two calculi that inspire SKC: the λ- and the π-calculus. That investigation led us to a revised syntax and semantics, which support an increase in the expressiveness of the language. In particular, now function names are first-class citizens and can be passed around. To illustrate the new features, we present step-by-step examples and two non-trivial use cases from artificial intelligence, which model, respectively, a perceptron and an image tagging system into compositions of serverless functions. We also illustrate how SKC supports reasoning on serverless implementations, i.e., the underlying network of communicating, concurrent, and mobile processes which execute serverless functions in the cloud. To that aim, we show an encoding from SKC to the asynchronous π-calculus and prove it correct in terms of an operational correspondence. Dedicated to Maurizio Gabbrielli, on his 60th birthday (... rob da mët ! )

A General Approach to Derive Uncontrolled Reversible Semantics

Authors: Ivan Lanese and Doriana Medić

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

Abstract
Reversible computing is a paradigm where programs can execute backward as well as in the usual forward direction. Reversible computing is attracting interest due to its applications in areas as different as biochemical modelling, simulation, robotics and debugging, among others. In concurrent systems the main notion of reversible computing is called causal-consistent reversibility, and it allows one to undo an action if and only if its consequences, if any, have already been undone. This paper presents a general and automatic technique to define a causal-consistent reversible extension for given forward models. We support models defined using a reduction semantics in a specific format and consider a causality relation based on resources consumed and produced. The considered format is general enough to fit many formalisms studied in the literature on causal-consistent reversibility, notably Higher-Order π-calculus and Core Erlang, an intermediate language in the Erlang compilation. Reversible extensions of these models in the literature are ad hoc, while we build them using the same general technique. This also allows us to show in a uniform way that a number of relevant properties, causal-consistency in particular, hold in the reversible extensions we build. Our technique also allows us to go beyond the reversible models in the literature: we cover a larger fragment of Core Erlang, including remote error handling based on links, which has never been considered in the reversibility literature.

Insights emerged while comparing three models for global computing

Authors: Ivan Lanese and Ugo Montanari

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5081, Foundations of Global Computing (2006)

Abstract
In this paper we outline the main ideas emerged while studying a chain of mappings from emph{Fusion Calculus} to emph{logic programming}, using emph{Synchronized Hyperedge Replacement} (with both Hoare and Milner synchronizations) as intermediate step. We aim more at discussing the ideas behind the mappings than at presenting their technical details.

Summary 3: On Graph(ic) Encodings

Authors: Roberto Bruni and Ivan Lanese

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4241, Graph Transformations and Process Algebras for Modeling Distributed and Mobile Systems (2005)

Abstract
This paper is an informal summary of different encoding techniques from process calculi and distributed formalisms to graphic frameworks. The survey includes the use of solo diagrams, term graphs, synchronized hyperedge replacement systems, bigraphs, tile models and interactive systems, all presented at the Dagstuhl Seminar 04241. The common theme of all techniques recalled here is having a graphic presentation that, at the same time, gives both an intuitive visual rendering (of processes, states, etc.) and a rigorous mathematical framework.
