Unreliability in Practical Subclasses of Communicating Systems

Authors: Amrita Suresh and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
Systems of communicating automata are prominent models for peer-to-peer message-passing over unbounded channels, but in the general scenario, most verification properties are undecidable. To address this issue, two decidable subclasses, Realisable with Synchronous Communication (RSC) and k-Multiparty Compatibility (k-MC), were proposed in the literature, with corresponding verification tools developed and applied in practice. Unfortunately, both RSC and k-MC are not resilient under failures: (1) their decidability relies on the assumption of perfect channels and (2) most standard protocols do not satisfy RSC or k-MC under failures. To address these limitations, this paper studies the resilience of RSC and k-MC under two distinct failure models: interference and crash-stop failures. For interference, we relax the conditions of RSC and k-MC and prove that the inclusions of these relaxed properties remain decidable under interference, preserving their known complexity bounds. We then propose a novel crash-handling communicating system that captures wider behaviours than existing multiparty session types (MPST) with crash-stop failures. We study a translation of MPST with crash-stop failures into this system integrating RSC and k-MC properties, and establish their decidability results. Finally, by verifying representative protocols from the literature using RSC and k-MC tools extended to interferences, we evaluate the relaxed systems and demonstrate their resilience.

First-Order Store and Visibility in Name-Passing Calculi

Authors: Daniel Hirschkoff, Iwan Quémerais, and Davide Sangiorgi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
The π-calculus is the paradigmatical name-passing calculus. While being purely name-passing, it allows the representation of higher-order functions and store. We study how π-calculus processes can be controlled so that computations can only involve storage of first-order values. The discipline is enforced by a type system that is based on the notion of visibility, coming from game semantics. We discuss the impact of visibility on the behavioural theory. We propose characterisations of may-testing and barbed equivalence, based on (variants of) trace equivalence and labelled bisimilarity, in the case where computation is sequential, and in the case where computation is well-bracketed.

Abstract Subtyping for Asynchronous Multiparty Sessions

Authors: Laura Bocchi, Andy King, Maurizio Murgia, and Simon Thompson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Session subtyping answers the question of whether a program in a communicating system can be safely substituted for another, when their communication behaviour is described by session types. Asynchronous session subtyping is undecidable, even for two participants, hence the interest in sound, but incomplete, subtyping algorithms. Asynchronous multiparty subtyping can be formulated by decomposing session types into single input and output types which preclude, respectively, external and internal choice. This paper shows how abstract interpretation can sit atop this approach and how it leads to an algorithm that can prove subtyping for intricate communication patterns.

Substructural Parametricity

Authors: C. B. Aberlé, Karl Crary, Chris Martens, and Frank Pfenning

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
Ordered, linear, and other substructural type systems allow us to expose deep properties of programs at the syntactic level of types. In this paper, we develop a family of unary logical relations that allow us to prove consequences of parametricity for a range of substructural type systems. A key idea is to parameterize the relation by an algebra, which we exemplify with a monoid and commutative monoid to interpret ordered and linear type systems, respectively. We prove the fundamental theorem of logical relations and apply it to deduce extensional properties of inhabitants of certain types. Examples include demonstrating that the ordered types for list append and reversal are inhabited by exactly one function, as are types of some tree traversals. Similarly, the linear type of the identity function on lists is inhabited only by permutations of the input. Our most advanced example shows that the ordered type of the list fold function is inhabited only by the fold function.

Fair Termination of Asynchronous Binary Sessions

Authors: Luca Padovani and Gianluigi Zavattaro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
We study a theory of asynchronous session types ensuring that well-typed processes terminate under a suitable fairness assumption. Fair termination entails starvation freedom and orphan message freedom namely that all messages, including those that are produced early taking advantage of asynchrony, are eventually consumed. The theory is based on a novel fair asynchronous subtyping relation for session types that is coarser than the existing ones. The type system is also the first of its kind that is firmly rooted in linear logic: fair asynchronous subtyping is incorporated as a natural generalization of the cut and axiom rules of linear logic and asynchronous communication is modeled through a suitable set of commuting conversions and of deep cut reductions in linear logic proofs.

Contrasting Deadlock-Free Session Processes

Authors: Juan C. Jaramillo and Jorge A. Pérez

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Deadlock freedom is a crucial property for message-passing programs. Over the years, several different type systems for concurrent processes that ensure deadlock freedom have been proposed; this diversity raises the question of how they compare. We address this question, considering two type systems not covered in prior work: Kokke et al.’s HCP, a type system based on a linear logic with hypersequents, and Padovani’s priority-based type system for asynchronous processes, dubbed 𝖯. Their distinctive features make formal comparisons relevant and challenging. Our findings are two-fold: (1) the hypersequent setting does not drastically change the class of deadlock-free processes induced by linear logic, and (2) we relate the classes of deadlock-free processes induced by HCP and 𝖯. We prove that our results hold under both synchronous and asynchronous communication. Our results provide new insights into the essential mechanisms involved in statically avoiding deadlocks in concurrency.

Subtyping Context-Free Session Types

Authors: Gil Silva, Andreia Mordido, and Vasco T. Vasconcelos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 279, 34th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2023)

Abstract
Context-free session types describe structured patterns of communication on heterogeneously typed channels, allowing the specification of protocols unconstrained by tail recursion. The enhanced expressive power provided by non-regular recursion comes, however, at the cost of the decidability of subtyping, even if equivalence is still decidable. We present an approach to subtyping context-free session types based on a novel kind of observational preorder we call XYZW-simulation, which generalizes XY-simulation (also known as covariant-contravariant simulation) and therefore also bisimulation and plain simulation. We further propose a subtyping algorithm that we prove to be sound, and present an empirical evaluation in the context of a compiler for a programming language. Due to the general nature of the simulation relation upon which it is built, this algorithm may also find applications in other domains.

Locally Static, Globally Dynamic Session Types for Active Objects

Authors: Reiner Hähnle, Anton W. Haubner, and Eduard Kamburjan

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

Abstract
Active object languages offer an attractive trade-off between low-level, preemptive concurrency and fully distributed actors: syntactically identifiable atomic code segments and asynchronous calls are the basis of cooperative concurrency, still permitting interleaving, but nevertheless being mechanically analyzable. The challenge is to reconcile local static analysis of atomic segments with the global scheduling constraints it depends on. Here, we propose an approximate, hybrid approach; At compile-time we perform a local static analysis: later, any run not complying to a global specification is excluded via runtime checks. That specification is expressed in a type-theoretic language inspired by session types. The approach reverses the usual (first global, then local) order of analysis and, thereby, supports analysis of open distributed systems.

Dependent Types for Class-based Mutable Objects

Authors: Joana Campos and Vasco T. Vasconcelos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 109, 32nd European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2018)

Abstract
We present an imperative object-oriented language featuring a dependent type system designed to support class-based programming and inheritance. Programmers implement classes in the usual imperative style, and may take advantage of a richer dependent type system to express class invariants and restrictions on how objects are allowed to change and be used as arguments to methods. By way of example, we implement insertion and deletion for binary search trees in an imperative style, and come up with types that ensure the binary search tree invariant. This is the first dependently-typed language with mutable objects that we know of to bring classes and index refinements into play, enabling types (classes) to be refined by indices drawn from some constraint domain. We give a declarative type system that supports objects whose types may change, despite being sound. We also give an algorithmic type system that provides a precise account of quantifier instantiation in a bidirectional style, and from which it is straightforward to read off an implementation. Moreover, all the examples in the paper have been run, compiled and executed in a fully functional prototype that includes a plugin for the Eclipse IDE.

Theory and Applications of Behavioural Types (Dagstuhl Seminar 17051)

Authors: Simon Gay, Vasco T. Vasconcelos, Philip Wadler, and Nobuko Yoshida

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 1 (2017)

Abstract
This report documents the programme and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 17051 "Theory and Applications of Behavioural Types". Behavioural types describe the dynamic aspects of programs, in contrast to data types, which describe the fixed structure of data. Perhaps the most well-known form of behavioural types is session types, which are type-theoretic specifications of communication protocols. More generally, behavioural types include typestate systems, which specify state-dependent availability of operations; choreographies, which specify collective communication behaviour; and behavioural contracts. In recent years, research activity in behavioural types has increased dramatically, in both theoretical and practical directions. Theoretical work has explored new relationships between established behavioural type systems and areas such as linear logic, automata theory, process calculus testing theory, dependent type theory, and model-checking. On the practical side, there are several implementations of programming languages, programming language extensions, software development tools, and runtime monitoring systems, which are becoming mature enough to apply to real-world case studies. The seminar brought together researchers from the established, largely European, research community in behavioural types, and other participants from outside Europe and from related research topics such as effect systems and actor-based languages. The questions that we intended to explore included: - How can we understand the relationships between the foundations of session types in terms of linear logic, automata, denotational models, and other type theories? - How can the scope and applicability of behavioural types be increased by incorporating ideas and approaches from gradual typing and dependent type theory? - What is the relationship, in terms of expressivity and tractability, between behavioural types and other verification techniques such as model-checking? - What are the theoretical and practical obstacles to delivering behavioural types to software developers in a range of mainstream programming languages? - What are the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating behavioural types into standard programming languages or designing new languages directly based on the foundations of session types? - How can we evaluate the effectiveness of behavioural types in programming languages and software development?

MiKO---Mikado Koncurrent Objects

Authors: Francisco Martins, Liliana Salvador, Vasco T. Vasconcelos, and Luís Lopes

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

Abstract
The motivation for the Mikado migration model is to provide programming constructs for controlling code mobility that are as independent as possible from the particular programming language used to program the code. The main idea is to regard a domain (or site, or locality), where mobile code may enter or exit, as a membrane enclosing running processes, and offering services that have to be called for entering or exiting the domain. MiKO---Mikado Koncurrent Objects is a particular instance of this model, where the membrane is explicitly split in two parts: the methods defining the interface, and a process part describing the data for, and the behavior of, the interface. The talk presents the syntax, operational semantics, and type system of MiKO, together with an example. It concludes by briefly mentioning the implementation of a language based on the calculus.
