The TYPES meetings are a forum to present new and on-going work in all aspects of type theory and its applications, especially in formalised and computer assisted reasoning and computer programming. The meetings from 1990 to 2008 were annual workshops of a sequence of five EU funded networking projects. Since 2009, TYPES has been run as an independent conference series. Previous TYPES meetings were held in Antibes (1990), Edinburgh (1991), B˚astad(1992), Nijmegen (1993), B˚astad (1994), Torino (1995), Aussois (1996), Kloster Irsee (1998), L¨okeberg (1999), Durham (2000), Berg en Dal near Nijmegen (2002), Torino (2003), Jouy-en-Josas near Paris (2004), Nottingham (2006), Cividale del Friuli (2007), Torino (2008), Aussois (2009), Warsaw (2010), Bergen (2011), Toulouse (2013), Paris (2014), Tallinn (2015), Novi Sad (2016). The TYPES areas of interest include, but are not limited to: foundations of type theory and constructive mathematics; applications of type theory; dependently typed programming; indus- trial uses of type theory technology; meta-theoretic studies of type systems; proof assistants and proof technology; automation in computer-assisted reasoning; links between type theory and functional programming; formalizing mathematics using type theory. The TYPES conferences are of open and informal character. Selection of contributed talks is based on short abstracts; reporting work in progress and work presented or published elsewhere is welcome. A formal post-proceedings volume is prepared after the conference; papers submitted to that must represent unpublished work and are subjected to a full review process. The programme of TYPES 2017 includes three invited talks by Edwin Brady (University of St Andrews), Sara Negri (Unviersity of Helsinki) and Jakob Rehof (TU Dortmund). The contributed part of the programme consists of 50 talks. Similarly to the 2011 and the 2013-2016 editions of the conference, the post-proceedings of TYPES 2015 will appear in Dagstuhl's Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series. We are grateful for the support of COST Action CA15123 EUTypes.

  • A Type and Scope Safe Universe of Syntaxes with Binding: Their Semantics and Proofs
    ZU064-05-FPR jfp19 26 March 2020 16:6 Under consideration for publication in J. Functional Programming 1 A Type and Scope Safe Universe of Syntaxes with Binding: Their Semantics and Proofs GUILLAUME ALLAIS, ROBERT ATKEY University of Strathclyde (UK) JAMES CHAPMAN Input Output HK Ltd. (HK) CONOR MCBRIDE University of Strathclyde (UK) JAMES MCKINNA University of Edinburgh (UK) Abstract Almost every programming language’s syntax includes a notion of binder and corresponding bound occurrences, along with the accompanying notions of α-equivalence, capture-avoiding substitution, typing contexts, runtime environments, and so on. In the past, implementing and reasoning about programming languages required careful handling to maintain the correct behaviour of bound variables. Modern programming languages include features that enable constraints like scope safety to be expressed in types. Nevertheless, the programmer is still forced to write the same boilerplate over again for each new implementation of a scope safe operation (e.g., renaming, substitution, desugaring, printing, etc.), and then again for correctness proofs. We present1 an expressive universe of syntaxes with binding and demonstrate how to (1) implement scope safe traversals once and for all by generic programming; and (2) how to derive properties of these traversals by generic proving. Our universe description, generic traversals and proofs, and our examples have all been formalised in Agda and are available in the accompanying material available online at https://github.com/gallais/generic-syntax. 1 Introduction In modern typed programming languages, programmers writing embedded DSLs (Hudak (1996)) and researchers formalising them can now use the host language’s type system to help them.

Januar 2021 Abstract Simulation models and simulation experiments are increasingly complex. One way to handle this complexity is developing software languages tailored to specifc application domains, so-called domain-specifc languages (DSLs). This thesis explores the potential of employing DSLs in modeling and simulation. We study diferent DSL design and implementation techniques and illustrate their benefts for expressing simulation models as well as simulation experiments with several examples. Regarding simulation models, we focus on discrete-event models based on continuous- time Markov chains (CTMCs). Most of our work revolves around ML-Rules, an rule-based modeling language for biochemical reaction networks. First, we relate the expressive power of ML-Rules to other currently available modeling languages for this application domain. Then we defne the abstract syntax and operational semantics for ML-Rules, mapping models to CTMCs in an unambiguous and precise way. Based on the formal defnitions, we present two approaches to implement ML-Rules as a DSL. The core of both implementations is fnding the matches for the patterns on the left side of ML-Rules’ rules.

  • First-Class Type Classes
    First-Class Type Classes Matthieu Sozeau1 and Nicolas Oury2 1 Univ. Paris Sud, CNRS, Laboratoire LRI, UMR 8623, Orsay, F-91405 INRIA Saclay, ProVal, Parc Orsay Universit´e, F-91893 [email protected] 2 University of Nottingham [email protected] Abstract. Type Classes have met a large success in Haskell and Is- abelle, as a solution for sharing notations by overloading and for spec- ifying with abstract structures by quantification on contexts. However, both systems are limited by second-class implementations of these con- structs, and these limitations are only overcomed by ad-hoc extensions to the respective systems. We propose an embedding of type classes into a dependent type theory that is first-class and supports some of the most popular extensions right away. The implementation is correspond- ingly cheap, general and integrates well inside the system, as we have experimented in Coq. We show how it can be used to help structured programming and proving by way of examples. 1 Introduction Since its introduction in programming languages [1], overloading has met an important success and is one of the core features of object–oriented languages. Overloading allows to use a common name for different objects which are in- stances of the same type schema and to automatically select an instance given a particular type. In the functional programming community, overloading has mainly been introduced by way of type classes, making ad-hoc polymorphism less ad hoc [17]. A type class is a set of functions specified for a parametric type but defined only for some types.

Defended March 06, 2013. Marburg, 2013. Erdweg, Sebastian: Extensible Languages for Flexible and Principled Domain Abstraction Dissertation, Philipps-Universität Marburg (1180), 2013. Curriculum vitae 2007, Bachelor of Science, TU Darmstadt 2009, Master of Science, Aarhus University Cover photo by Tellerdreher Photography, 2012. Abstract Most programming languages are designed for general-purpose software deve- lopment in a one-size-fits-all fashion: They provide the same set of language features and constructs for all possible applications programmers ever may want to develop. As with shoes, the one-size-fits-all solution grants a good fit to few applications only. The trend toward domain-specific languages, model-driven development, and language-oriented programming counters general-purpose languages by promo- ting the use of domain abstractions that facilitate domain-specific language features and constructs tailored to certain application domains. In particular, domain abstraction avoids the need for encoding domain concepts with general- purpose language features and thus allows programmers to program at the same abstraction level as they think. Unfortunately, current approaches to domain abstraction cannot deliver on the promises of domain abstraction. On the one hand, approaches that target internal domain-specific languages lack flexibility regarding the syntax, static checking, and tool support of domain abstractions, which limits the level of actually achieved domain abstraction.

  • Generic Views on Data Types
    Generic Views on Data Types Stefan Holdermans Johan Jeuring Andres Loh¨ institute of information and computing sciences, utrecht university technical report UU-CS-2005-012 www.cs.uu.nl Generic Views on Data Types Stefan Holdermans Johan Jeuring Andres Loh¨ Institute of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht University P.O. Box 80.089 3508 TB Utrecht, the Netherlands {stefan,johanj,andres}@cs.uu.nl Abstract A generic function is defined by induction on the structure of types. The structure of a data type can be defined in several ways. For example, in PolyP a pattern functor gives the structure of a data type viewed as a fixed point, and in Generic Haskell a structural representation type gives an isomorphic type view of a data type in terms of sums of products. Depending on this generic view on the structure of data types, some generic functions are easier, more difficult, or even impossible to define. Furthermore, the efficiency of some generic functions can be improved by choosing a different view. This paper introduces generic views on data types and shows why they are useful. Furthermore, it discusses how to add new generic views to Generic Haskell, an extension of the functional programming language Haskell that supports the construction of generic functions. The separation between inductive definitions on type structure and generic views allows us to view many approaches to generic programming in a single framework. 1. Introduction A generic function is defined by induction on the structure of types. Several approaches to generic programming [15, 10, 19, 18, 14] have been developed in the last decade.
