Bounded polymorphism in session types
<10>Innovation: this paper concerns session types, which are type-theoretic specifications of communication protocols. It was the first to study session types in combination with a powerful form of polymorphism, to support future developments in programming languages that incorporate session types.
Rigour: the paper was published in one of the top five journals in programming language theory. Its results are rigorously-proved mathematical statements about a type system.
Impact: the paper has attracted considerable interest from the growing community of researchers on session types. The theory it provides is ahead of current practice, and its impact is likely to increase over time.
