Short Bio:

Vasco T. Vasconcelos is a full professor at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon where he has been lecturing since March 1996. He is currently the director of the LASIGE research lab.  He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Keio University (1992, 1995), and the habilitation title in informatics from New University of Lisbon (2003). Spent a (made short by the pandemics) sabbatical at University of Glasgow, a sabbatical semester at Kyoto University in Autumn 2016 and a year at University of Sussex in 2002-03. He was at New University of Lisbon, first as a post doc, then as teaching assistant in 1995-96, and worked at Sony Computer Science Laboratory, Tokyo, in 1993-94 while a Ph.D. student. Vasco Vasconcelos is a founding member of the Reliable Software Systems research line at Lasige. His research work centers on programming languages for concurrent and distributed programming, type systems, process calculi, and specification and verification of computer systems.

 

Title

"FreeST and the Higher-order Polymorphic Lambda Calculus"

 

 

Abstract

 

We start with a gentle introduction to FreeST, a message-passing concurrent functional language where communication channels are typed against context-free session types. Then we add type operators to the language and discuss the challenges of deciding type equivalence. We show that type equivalence is decidable for a significant fragment of the type language by reducting the problem to that of determining bisimulation for simple grammars. We conclude by discussing challenges in the FreeST compiler. This is joint work with Bernardo Almeida, Diana Costa, Andreia Mordido, and Diogo Poças.
