Theory and applications of subtyping systems for proof development, programming, and interactive processes

Objectif



I propose to study subtyping, a primitive relation important to many different areas of computer science, including software specification, object-oriented programming, modular software design, and
computer-assisted proof.
My first research goal is to study subtyping systems for programming languages. Sustained research over the last decade has led recently to powerful new type systems for a broad range of object-oriented features. MY research will have applications to Standard ML1S successor ML2000 and to object calculi.
My second research goal is to provide a theoretical basis for enriching proof-checking systems with subtyping. Existing proof checkers, such as LEGO, COQ, and ALF do not incorporate subtyping because we do not understand the interaction between subtyping and dependent types. I propose to study this interaction in a type system incorporating these two features.
My third research goal is to investigate the applications of typing and subtyping in concurrency.
