Type-Checking Higher-Order Polymorphic Multi-Methods
We present a new predicative and decidable type system, called ML , suitable for languages that integrate functional programming and parametric polymorphism in the tradition of ML...

A Practical Subtyping System For Erlang
We present a type system for the programming language Erlang. The type system supports subtyping and declarationfree recursive types, using subtyping constraints. Our system is si...

Strongly Typed Inductive Concept Learning
In this paper we argue that the use of a language with a type system, together with higher-order facilities and functions, provides a suitable basis for knowledge representation in...

Secure Information Flow in a Multi-Threaded Imperative Language
Previously, we developed a type system to ensure secure information flow in a sequential, imperative programming language [VSI96]. Program variables are classified as either hig...

A Linguistic Characterization of Bounded Oracle Computation and Probabilistic Polynomial Time
We present a higher-order functional notation for polynomial-time computation with arbitrary 0; 1-valued oracle. This provides a linguistic characterization for classes such as np...

Using Types as Approximations for Type Checking Prolog Programs
Abstract. Subtyping tends to undermine the effects of parametric polymorphism as far as the static detection of type errors is concerned. Starting with this observation we present...

Union Types for Semistructured Data
Semistructured databases are treated as dynamically typed: they come equipped with no independent schema or type system to constrain the data. Query languages that are designed fo...

Typed Memory Management in a Calculus of Capabilities
An increasing number of systems rely on programming language technology to ensure safety and security of low-level code. Unfortunately, these systems typically rely on a complex, ...

Types for Mobile Ambients
An ambient is a named cluster of processes and subambients, which moves as a group. We describe type systems able to guarantee that certain ambients will remain immobile, and that ...

Type Inference with Rank 1 Polymorphism for Type-Directed Compilation of ML
This paper defines an extended polymorphic type system for an ML-style programming language, and develops a sound and complete type inference algorithm. Different from the conve...
