Dynamic binding and delimited control are useful together in many settings, including Web
applications, database cursors, and mobile code. We examine this pair of language features …

We extend our correspondence between evaluators and abstract machines from the pure
setting of the λ-calculus to the impure setting of the computational λ-calculus. We show how …

As a value flows across the boundary between interoperating languages, it must be checked
and converted to fit the types and representations of the target language. For simple forms of …

Aspect-oriented software design will need to support languages with first-class and higher-
order procedures, such as Ruby, Perl, ML and Scheme. These language features present …

Continuations are variously understood as representations of the current evaluation context
and as representations of the rest of the computation, but these understandings contradict …

Abstract The Java JDK 1.2 Security Architecture includes a dynamic mechanism for
enforcing access control checks, so-called stack inspection. This paper studies type systems …

The Java Security Architecture includes a dynamic mechanism for enforcing access control
checks, the so-called stack inspection process. While the architecture has several appealing …

Krivine presents the K machine, which produces weak head normal form results. Sestoft
introduces several call-by-need variants of the K machine that implement result sharing via …

We present a new static analysis for reviewing the security of libraries for systems, such as
JVMs or the CLR, that rely on stack inspection for access control. We describe its …

My dissertation presents and defends the thesis that lightweight stack inspection improves
the implementation of intensional programming tools and programming language …
