Rust is a new systems programming language that promises to overcome the seemingly
fundamental tradeoff between high-level safety guarantees and low-level control over …

Ownership types were devised nearly 15 years ago to provide a stronger notion of protection
to object-oriented programming languages. Rather than simply protecting the fields of an …

Futhark is a purely functional data-parallel array language that offers a machine-neutral
programming model and an optimising compiler that generates OpenCL code for GPUs …

We describe a type system for checking interference using the concept of linear capabilities
(which we call “permissions”). Our innovations include the concept of “fractional” …

RedLeaf is a new operating system developed from scratch in Rust to explore the impact of
language safety on operating system organization. In contrast to commodity systems …

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

This article addresses the challenge of sound typestate verification, with acceptable
precision, for real-world Java programs. We present a novel framework for verification of …

JavaScript-based malware attacks have increased in recent years and currently represent a
signicant threat to the use of desktop computers, smartphones, and tablets. While static and …

We present a system for extending standard type systems with flow-sensitive type qualifiers.
Users annotate their programs with type qualifiers, and inference checks that the …

An object invariant defines what it means for an object's data to be in a consistent state.
Object invariants are central to the design and correctness of objectoriented programs. This …
