Traditional static type systems are very effective for verifying basic interface specifications,
but are somewhat limited in the kinds specifications they support. Dynamically-checked …

A key aspect when aggregating business processes and web services is to assure
transactional properties of process executions. Since transactions in this context may require …

Traditional static type systems are effective for verifying basic interface specifications.
Dynamically checked contracts support more precise specifications, but these are not …

We offer a reference model for nested transactions at the level of memory accesses, and
sketch possible hardware architecture designs that implement that model. We describe both …

While serverless platforms substantially simplify the provisioning, configuration, and
management of cloud applications, implementing correct services on top of these platforms …

Software transactions have received significant attention as a way to simplify shared-
memory concurrent programming, but insufficient focus has been given to the precise …

Transactional monitors are proposed as an alternative to monitors based on mutual-
exclusion synchronization for object-oriented programming languages. Transactional …

Transactional memory (TM) is a promising paradigm for concurrent programming. Whereas
the number of TM implementations is growing, however, little research has been conducted …

A transaction defines a locus of computation that satisfies important concurrency and failure
properties. These so-called ACID properties provide strong serialization guarantees that …

Multithreaded programs are prone to errors caused by unintended interference between
concurrent threads. This paper focuses on verifying that deterministically-parallel code is …
