With distributed computing becoming ubiquitous in the modern era, safe distributed programming is an open challenge. To address this, multiparty session types (MPST) provide a typing discipline for message-passing concurrency, guaranteeing communication safety properties such as deadlock freedom. While originally MPST focus on the communication aspects, and employ a simple typing system for communication payloads, communication protocols in the real world usually contain constraints on the payload. We introduce refined multiparty session types (RMPST), an extension of MPST, that express data dependent protocols via refinement types on the data types. We provide an implementation of RMPST, in a toolchain called Session*, using Scribble, a multiparty protocol description toolchain, and targeting F*, a verification-oriented functional programming language. Users can describe a protocol in Scribble and implement the endpoints in F* using refinement-typed APIs generated from the protocol. The F* compiler can then statically verify the refinements. Moreover, we use a novel approach of callback-styled API generation, providing static linearity guarantees with the inversion of control. We evaluate our approach with real world examples and show that it has little overhead compared to a naive implementation, while guaranteeing safety properties from the underlying theory.

Static verification relying on an automated theorem prover can be very slow and brittle: since static verification is undecidable, correct code may not pass a particular static verifier. In this work we use metaprogramming to generate code that is co rrect by construction. A theorem prover is used only to verify initial traits: units of code that can be used to compose bigger programs. In our work, meta-programming is done by trait composition, which starting from correct code, is guaranteed to produce correct code. We do this by extending conventional traits with pre- and post-conditions for the methods; we also extend the traditional trait composition (+) operator to check the compatibility of contracts. In this way, there is no need to re-verify the produced code. We show how our approach can be applied to the standard power function example, where metaprogramming generates optimised, and correc

Objects and actors are communicating state machines, offering and consuming different services at different points in their lifecycle. Two complementary challenges arise when programming such systems. When objects interact, their state machines must be compatible, so that services are requested only when they are available. Dually, when objects refine other objects, their state machines must be compliant, so that services are honoured whenever they are promised. In this paper we show how the idea of multiparty compatibility from the session types literature can be applied to both of these problems. We present an untyped language in which concurrent objects are checked automatically for compatibility and compliance. For simple objects, checking can be exhaustive and has the feel of a type system. More complex objects can be partially validated via test cases, leading to a methodology closer to continuous testing. Our proof-of-concept implementation is limited in some important respects, but demonstrates the potential value of the approach and the relationship to existing software development practices.
We present VOQC, the first fully verified optimizer for quantum circuits, written using the Coq proof assistant. Quantum circuits are expressed as programs in a simple, low-level language called SQIR, a simple quantum intermediate representation, whi ch is deeply embedded in Coq. Optimizations and other transformations are expressed as Coq functions, which are proved correct with respect to a semantics of SQIR programs. SQIR uses a semantics of matrices of complex numbers, which is the standard for quantum computation, but treats matrices symbolically in order to reason about programs that use an arbitrary number of quantum bits. SQIRs careful design and our provided automation make it possible to write and verify a broad range of optimizations in VOQC, including full-circuit transformations from cutting-edge optimizers.
We present Multiparty Classical Choreographies (MCC), a language model where global descriptions of communicating systems (choreographies) implement typed multiparty sessions. Typing is achieved by generalising classical linear logic to judgements th at explicitly record parallelism by means of hypersequents. Our approach unifies different lines of work on choreographies and processes with multiparty sessions, as well as their connection to linear logic. Thus, results developed in one context are carried over to the others. Key novelties of MCC include support for server invocation in choreographies, as well as logic-driven compilation of choreographies with replicated processes.
Common programming tools, like compilers, debuggers, and IDEs, crucially rely on the ability to analyse program code to reason about its behaviour and properties. There has been a great deal of work on verifying compilers and static analyses, but far less on verifying dynamic analyses such as program slicing. Recently, a new mathematical framework for slicing was introduced in which forward and backward slicing are dual in the sense that they constitute a Galois connection. This paper formalises forward and backward dynamic slicing algorithms for a simple imperative programming language, and formally verifies their duality using the Coq proof assistant.
