Degrees of Separation: A Flexible Type System for Safe Concurrency

Martin Odersky, Yichen Xu, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Data races have long been a notorious problem in concurrent programming. They are subtle to detect, and lead to non-deterministic behaviours. There has been a lot of interest in type systems that statically guarantee data race freedom. Significant progress ...

When Subtyping Constraints Liberate A Novel Type Inference Approach for First-Class Polymorphism

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux, Aleksander Slawomir Boruch-Gruszecki

Type inference in the presence of first-class or "impredicative" second-order polymorphism a la System F has been an active research area for several decades, with original works dating back to the end of the 80s. Yet, until now many basic problems remain ...

Formally verifying the correctness of software is necessary to merit the trust people put in software systems. Currently, formal verification requires human effort to prove that a piece of code matches its specification and code changes to improve verifiab ...

Villa: Type or Model? Framing a Contradiction in the Context of Post-war Italy

Michela Bonomo

In the collective imagination, the villa is a manifesto of ‘the good life’ (Abalos, 2016) and probably the most archaic building still surviving today. Since the first appearance of the term, the villa has evolved into a more comprehensive notion referring ...

Safety climate in university laboratories. Part II: a critical view on the role of safety education in academia

Thierry Meyer, Anastasia Jung

This paper explores safety climate as a phenomenon. Comparative analyses of the survey designed and distributed among European universities with a study published in 2013 demonstrating that safety climate studies targeting respondents with supervisory posi ...

Type-preserving compilation of (most of) FGJ into DOT

Guillaume André Fradji Martres

The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is not e ...

Enclosure: Language-Based Restriction of Untrusted Libraries

James Richard Larus, Mathias Josef Payer, Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn

Programming languages and systems have failed to address the security implications of the increasingly frequent use of public libraries to construct modern software. Most languages provide tools and online repositories to publish, import, and use libraries ...

Stability properties of a projector-splitting scheme for dynamical low rank approximation of random parabolic equations

Fabio Nobile, Yoshihito Kazashi, Eva Vidlicková

We consider the Dynamical Low Rank (DLR) approximation of random parabolic equations and propose a class of fully discrete numerical schemes. Similarly to the continuous DLR approximation, our schemes are shown to satisfy a discrete variational formulation ...

Preventing Use-After-Free Attacks with Fast Forward Allocation

Sanidhya Kashyap, Jungwon Lim

Memory-unsafe languages are widely used to implement critical systems like kernels and browsers, leading to thousands of memory safety issues every year. A use-after-free bug is a temporal memory error where the program accidentally visits a freed memory l ...
