Orthologic with Axioms

We study the proof theory and algorithms for orthologic, a logical system based on ortholattices, which have shown practical relevance in simplification and normalization of verification conditions. Ortholattices weaken Boolean algebras while having polyno ...

Discretisation and continuity: The emergence of symbols in communication

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Robert Lieck

Vocal signalling systems, as used by humans and various non-human animals, exhibit discrete and continuous properties that can naturally be used to express discrete and continuous information, such as distinct words to denote objects in the world and proso ...

Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Fengyun Liu, Sandro Stucki, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Understanding a program entails understanding its context; dependencies, configurations and even implementations are all forms of contexts. Modern programming languages and theorem provers offer an array of constructs to define contexts, implicitly. Scala ...

Type Soundness Proofs with Definitional Interpreters

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

While type soundness proofs are taught in every graduate PL class, the gap between realistic languages and what is accessible to formal proofs is large. In the case of Scala, it has been shown that its formal model, the Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculu ...

A Historical Review of Diachrony and Semantic Dimensions of Trace in Neurosciences and Lacanian Psychoanalysis

Pierre Magistretti

Experience leaves a trace in the nervous system through plasticity. However, the exact meaning of the mnesic trace is poorly defined in current literature. This article provides a historical review of the term trace in neuroscience and psychoanalysis liter ...

Functional BIP: Embedding connectors in functional programming languages

Romain Edelmann, Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze

This paper presents a theoretical foundation for functional language implementations of Behaviour–Interaction–Priority (BIP). We introduce a set of connector combinators describing synchronisation, data transfer, priorities and dynamicity in a principled w ...

Monotonicity Types

Heather Christine Klug

In the face of the increasing trend in application development to interact with more and more remote services, and cognizant of the fact that issues arising from data consistency and task coordination are core challenges in distributed programming, the sys ...

Context and Semantic Aware Location Privacy

Berker Agir

With ever-increasing computational power, and improved sensing and communication capabilities, smart devices have altered and enhanced the way we process, perceive and interact with information. Personal and contextual data is tracked and stored extensivel ...

On the Privacy Implications of Location Semantics

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Urs Beda Hengartner

Mobile users increasingly make use of location-based online services enabled by localization systems. Not only do they share their locations to obtain contextual services in return (e.g., 'nearest restaurant'), but they also share, with their friends, info ...

Offer semantics: Achieving compositionality, flattening and full expressiveness for the glue operators in BIP

Simon Bliudze, Eduard Baranov

Based on a concise but comprehensive overview of some fundamental properties required from component-based frameworks, namely compositionality, incrementality, flattening, modularity and expressiveness, we review three modifications of the semantics of glu ...
