Mixin Composition Synthesis based on Intersection Types
We present a method for synthesizing compositions of mixins using type
inhabitation in intersection types. First, recursively defined classes and
mixins, which are functions over classes, are expressed as terms in a lambda
calculus with records. Intersection types with records and record-merge are
used to assign meaningful types to these terms without resorting to recursive
types. Second, typed terms are translated to a repository of typed combinators.
We show a relation between record types with record-merge and intersection
types with constructors. This relation is used to prove soundness and partial
completeness of the translation with respect to mixin composition synthesis.
Furthermore, we demonstrate how a translated repository and goal type can be
used as input to an existing framework for composition synthesis in bounded
combinatory logic via type inhabitation. The computed result is a class typed
by the goal type and generated by a mixin composition applied to an existing
class

Towards Practical Gradual Typing
Over the past 20 years, programmers have embraced dynamically-typed programming languages. By now, they have also come to realize that programs in these languages lack reliable type information for software engineering purposes. Gradual typing addresses this problem; it empowers programmers to annotate an existing system with sound type information on a piecemeal basis. This paper presents an implementation of a gradual type system for a full-featured class-based language as well as a novel performance evaluation framework for gradual typing
Towards Object-Oriented Klaim
Abstract By its own nature, mobile code requires flexibility in order to be adaptive to any execution context it may be run in. In this paper we investigate this flexibility requirement from the design point of view, and propose a solution based on the mixin technique to fulfill it. We also propose an extension of the language K laim with object-oriented features, as an application of this approach
