The Higher-Order Ψ-calculus framework (HOΨ) is a generalisation of many first-and higher-order extensions of the π-calculus. It was proposed by Parrow et al. who showed that higher-order calculi such as HOπ and CHOCS can be expressed as HOΨ-calculi. In this paper we present a generic type system for HOΨ-calculi which extends previous work by Hüttel on a generic type system for first-order Ψ-calculi. Our generic type system satisfies the usual property of subject reduction and can be instantiated to yield type systems for variants of HOπ, including the type system for termination due to Demangeon et al.. Moreover, we derive a type system for the ρ-calculus, a reflective higher-order calculus proposed by Meredith and Radestock. This establishes that our generic type system is richer than its predecessor, as the ρ-calculus cannot be encoded in the π-calculus in a way that satisfies standard criteria of encodability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
