We motivate the design of typed assembly language (TAL) and present a type-preserving
ttranslation from Systemn F to TAL. The typed assembly language we pressent is based on a …

Law at large underpins modern society, codifying and governing many aspects of citizens'
daily lives. Oftentimes, law is subject to interpretation, debate and challenges throughout …

Cyclone is a type-safe programming language derived from C. The primary design goal of
Cyclone is to let programmers control data representation and memory management without …

The proofs of" traditional" proof carrying code (PCC) are type-specialized in the sense that
they require axioms about a specific type system. In contrast, the proofs of foundational PCC …

Recent years have seen the development of several foundational models for statically typed
object-oriented programming. But despite their intuitive similarity, differences in the technical …

Many important applications must run continuously and without interruption, yet must be
changed to fix bugs or upgrade functionality. No prior general-purpose methodology for …

One common technique for preventing data races in multi-threaded programs is to ensure
that all accesses to shared locations are consistently protected by a lock. We present a tool …

We are investigating a new approach to compiling Standard ML (SML) based on four key
technologies: interwional polymorphism [23], nearlg tag-free garbage collection[12, 46, 34] …

Proof-carrying code (PCC) is a framework for mechanically verifying the safety of machine
language programs. A program that is successfully verified by a PCC system is guaranteed …

Reynolds's defunctionalization technique is a whole-program transformation from higher-
order to first-order functional programs. We study practical applications of this transformation …
