Behavioural type systems, usually associated to concurrent or distributed computations,
encompass concepts such as interfaces, communication protocols, and contracts, in addition …

A recent trend in programming language research is to use behavioral type theory to ensure
various correctness properties of largescale, communication-intensive systems. Behavioral …

Blockchain platforms, such as Ethereum, promise to facilitate transactions on a
decentralized computing platform among parties that have not established trust. Recognition …

Blockchain platforms are coming into use for processing critical transactions among
participants who have not established mutual trust. Many blockchains are programmable …

We present Dependent JavaScript (DJS), a statically typed dialect of the imperative, object-
oriented, dynamic language. DJS supports the particularly challenging features such as run …

Typestate reflects how the legal operations on imperative objects can change at runtime as
their internal state changes. A typestate checker can statically ensure, for instance, that an …

Static typechecking is an important feature of many standard programming languages.
However, static typing focuses on data rather than communication, and therefore does not …

Programming language design requires making many usability-related design decisions.
However, existing HCI methods can be impractical to apply to programming languages …

We develop a principled integration of shared mutable state into a proposition-as-types
linear logic interpretation of a session-based concurrent programming language. While the …

We report on two tools that extend Java with support for static type-checking of
communication protocols. Our Mungo tool extends Java with typestate definitions, which …
