Behavioural contracts are formal specifications of interaction protocols between two or more
distributed services. Despite the heterogeneous nature of the formalisms for behavioural …

Inspired by the continuation-passing encoding of binary sessions, we describe a simple
approach to embed a hybrid form of session type checking into any programming language …

This paper studies safety, progress, and non-zeno properties of Communicating Timed
Automata (CTAs), which are timed automata (TA) extended with unbounded communication …

Developing distributed applications typically requires to integrate new code with legacy third-
party services, eg, e-commerce facilities, maps, etc. These services cannot always be …

Traditional session types prescribe bidirectional communication protocols for concurrent
computations, where well-typed programs are guaranteed to adhere to the protocols …

We investigate the semantic foundations of session types, by revisiting them in the abstract
setting of labelled transition systems. The crucial insight is a simulation relation which …

Timed session types formalise timed communication protocols between two participants at
the endpoints of a session. They feature a decidable compliance relation, which generalises …

We propose a type system for a calculus of contracting processes. Processes can establish
sessions by stipulating contracts, and then can interact either by keeping the promises …

Behavioral contracts are abstract descriptions of expected communication patterns followed
by either clients or servers during their interaction. Behavioral contracts come naturally …

We address the problem of modelling and verifying contract-oriented systems, wherein
distributed agents may advertise and stipulate contracts, but—differently from most other …
