Component-based programming is currently carried out using mainstream object-oriented languages. These languages have to be used in a highly disciplined way to guarantee flexible component composition and extensibility. This paper investigates abstractions ...
We design and study newObj, a calculus and dependent type system forobjects and classes which can have types as members. Type members canbe aliases, abstract types, or new types. The type system can modelthe essential concepts of Java's inner classes as we ...
PiLib is a library written in Scala that implements the concurrency constructs of the Pi-calculus. Some features of the programming language Scala, examined in the paper, make it possible to use almost the same syntax as in the Pi-calculus. The advantages ...
In this paper we present a general framework HM(X) for Hindley/Milner style type systems with constraints, analogous to the CLP(X) framework in constrained logic programming. We show that the type system is sound with respect to a standard untyped composit ...
In this paper we design a language and runtime support for isolation-only, multithreaded transactions (called tasks) that are intended for time-critical systems. The key concept of our design is the use of a type system to support rollback-free and safe ru ...
Developing computer systems that are both concurrent and evolving is challenging. To guarantee consistent access to resources by concurrent software components, some synchronization is required. A synchronization logic, or policy, is at present entangled i ...

We present a type system for a language based on F-sub, which allows certain type annotations to be elided in actual programs. Local type inference determines types by a combination of type propagation and local constraint solving, rather than by global co ...
Join calculus, usually presented as a process calculus, is suitable as a foundation of both sequential and concurrent programming. We give a new operational semantics of join calculus, expressed as a reduction system with a single reduction rule similar to ...
