This introductory text explores the key concepts of session types, which codify the structure of communication, making software more reliable and easier to construct. Complemented by examples and exercises throughout, it serves as an entry point to the topic for graduate students and researchers.
Session types are type-theoretic specifications of communication protocols in concurrent or distributed systems. By codifying the structure of communication, they make software more reliable and easier to construct. Over recent decades, the topic has become a large and active research area within the field of programming language theory and implementation. Written by leading researchers in the field, this is the first text to provide a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts of session types. The thorough theoretical treatment is complemented by examples and exercises, suitable for use in a lecture course or for self-study. It serves as an entry point to the topic for graduate students and researchers.

Simon J. Gay is Professor and Head of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. He has co-edited two previous books: 'Semantic Techniques in Quantum Computation' (2010) and 'Behavioural Types: From Theory to Tools' (2017). Vasco T. Vasconcelos is Professor at the Universidade de Lisboa. He co-authored one of the first papers on session types, for which he received the ETAPS Test of Time Award (2019).
