We propose a novel verification method for higher-order functional programs based on
higher-order model checking, or more precisely, model checking of higher-order recursion …

We present Mezzo, a typed programming language of ML lineage. Mezzo is equipped with a
novel static discipline of duplicable and affine permissions, which controls aliasing and …

Code artifacts that have nontrivial requirements with respect to the ordering in which their
methods or procedures ought to be called are common and appear, for instance, in the form …

This paper presents a formal definition and machine-checked soundness proof for a very
expressive type-and-capability system, that is, a low-level type system that keeps precise …

Annotation variable in a state-dependent operation While the simulated state of the variable
is in the special state may lead to an error, and the analysis may generate a Warning …

Software development and maintenance are costly endeavors. The cost can be reduced if
more software defects are detected earlier in the development cycle. This paper introduces …

As programmers, programming in typed languages increases our confidence in the
correctness of our programs. As type system designers, soundness proofs increase our …

A parallel program is deterministic if it produces the same output on every execution with a
given input, regardless of the parallel schedule chosen. Determinism makes parallel …

A garbage collector relieves programmers from manual memory management and improves
productivity and program reliability. However, there are many other finite system resources …

Decades of research on type systems have led to advances in the kinds of programming
features that can be reasoned about and the kinds of errors that can be prevented …
