BEAT 2014, September 1st 2014, Rome, Italy

 

Organized by COST Action IC1201: Behavioural Types for Reliable Large-Scale Software Systems (BETTY).

Affiliated to CONCUR 2014: 25th International Conference on Concurrency Theory.

 

Scope

Behavioural type systems go beyond data type systems in order to specify, characterise, and reason about dynamic aspects of program execution. Behavioural types can form a basis for both static analysis and dynamic monitoring. Recent years have seen a rapid increase in research on behavioural types, driven partly by the need to formalise and codify communication structures as computing moves from the data-processing era to the communication era, and partly by the realisation that type-theoretic techniques can provide insight into the fine structure of computation. Behavioural types encompass: session types; contracts (for example in service-oriented systems); typestate; types for analysis of termination, deadlock-freedom, liveness, race-freedom, and related properties; intersection types applied to behavioural properties; and other topics.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in all aspects of behavioural type theory and its applications, in order to share results, consolidate the community, and discover opportunities for new collaborations and future directions.

Topics of the workshop are all aspects of behavioural types, including, but not limited to:

  • theoretical foundations of behavioural types
  • behavioural types in practical programming languages
  • software development and analysis tools for behavioural types
  • case studies and software engineering applications of behavioural types
  • relationships between different forms of behavioural types
  • behavioural types in concurrent and distributed systems
  • behavioural types in many-core systems
  • behavioural types in service-oriented computing
  • behavioural types in cloud computing
  • security in behavioural type systems
  • new directions for behavioural types
