This paper presents a type-based solution to the long-standing problem of object initialization. Constructors, the conventional mechanism for object initialization, have semantics...
Abstract. Collections play an important part in everyday life. Therefore, conceptual data models should support collection types to make data modeling as natural as possible for it...
Abstract. The λ-calculus with de Bruijn indices, called λdB, assembles each α-class of λ-terms into a unique term, using indices instead of variable names. Intersection types p...
We consider the problem of specifying combinations of data structures with complex sharing in a manner that is both declarative lts in provably correct code. In our approach, abst...

abstractions, such as closures, tuples, and user-defined abstract data types. The type system ensures that well-typed programs cannot violate these abstractions. In addition, the ...
