CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


WORKSHOP CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF SESSION TYPES (ST30)

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://2023.splashcon.org/home/st-anniversary-30__;!!IBzWLUs!S3vZznm17P0ZgX8NrInT3hpmWjWRe7Hmj890M0lyNKkV0wHmpIgMhq1N0PaMDLhgxRZtl57lNHKqUPfnBQCoQKDWYk3puLITX8q13eU$ 

Affiliated with SPLASH 2023, Cascais, Portugal

22nd & 23rd October 2023

Session types are a type-theoretic approach to specifying communication 
protocols so that they can be verified by type-checking. This year marks 
30 years since the first paper on session types, by Kohei Honda at 
CONCUR 1993. Since then the topic has attracted increasing interest, and 
a substantial community and literature have developed. Google Scholar 
lists almost 400 articles with "session types" in the title, and most 
programming language conferences now include several papers on session 
types each year. In terms of the technical focus, there have been 
continuing theoretical developments (notably the generalisation from 
two-party to multi-party session types by Honda, Yoshida and Carbone in 
2008, and the development of a Curry-Howard correspondence with linear 
logic by Caires and Pfenning in 2010) and a variety of implementations 
of session types as programming language extensions or libraries, 
covering (among others) Haskell, OCaml, Java, Scala, Rust, Python, C#, 
Go. The workshop will celebrate 30 years of session types, present 
current research, and discuss future directions.
