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 ...
With the growing demand for software systems that can cope with an increasing range of information processing tasks, the reuse of code from existing systems is essential to reduce the production costs of systems as well as the time to manufacture new softw ...
The seminal impossibility of reaching consensus in an asynchronous and crash prone system was established for a weak variant of the problem, usually called weak consensus, where a set of processes need to decide on a common value out of two possible values ...
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 ...
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 ...
Programming efficient and reliable code can be considered a non-trivial task, as it requires deep understanding of the problem to be solved along with good programming skills. However, software frameworks and programming paradigms can provide a dependable ...

A formalized theory of alpha-conversion for the pi-calculus in Isabelle/HOL is presented. Following a recent proposal by Gabbay and Pitts, substitutions are modelled in terms of permutations, and alpha-equivalence is defined over all but finitely many name ...
This paper presents type-based publish/subscribe, a new variant of the publish/subscribe paradigm. Producers publish message objects on a communication bus, and consumers subscribe to the bus by specifying the types of the objects they are interested in. M ...
We present a new run-time system, DOSA, that efficiently implements a shared object space abstraction underneath a typed programming language. The key insight behind DOSA is that the ability to unambiguously distinguish pointers from data at run-time enabl ...
