Parallelism is often required for performance. In these situations an excess of non-
determinism is harmful as it means the program can have several different behaviours or …

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

Dependent types allow us to express precisely what a function is intended to do. Recent
work on Quantitative Type Theory (QTT) extends dependent type systems with linearity, also …

Fueled by the success of Rust, many programming languages are adding substructural
features to their type systems. The promise of tracking properties such as lifetimes and …

One often cited benefit of pure functional programming is that pure code is easier to test and
reason about, both formally and informally. However, real programs have side-effects …

This paper presents F4F (Framework For Frameworks), a system for effective taint analysis
of framework-based web applications. Most modern web applications utilize one or more …

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

Ownership type systems, based on the idea of enforcing unique access paths, have been
primarily focused on objects and top-level classes. However, existing models do not as …

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 …

Android devices include many embedded resources such as Camera, Media Player and
Sensors. These resources require programmers to explicitly request and release them …
