Dependent Object Types Towards a foundation for Scala's type system

We propose a new type-theoretic foundation of Scala and languages like it: the Dependent Object Types (DOT) calculus. DOT models Scala’s path-dependent types, abstract type members and its mixture of nominal and structural typing through the use of refinement types. The core formalism makes no attempt to model inheritance and mixin composition. DOT normalizes Scala’s type system by unifying the constructs for type members and by providing classical intersection and union types which simplify greatest lower bound and least upper bound computations. In this paper, we present the DOT calculus, both formally and informally. We also discuss our work-in-progress to prove typesafety of the calculus.

Adaptive Hybrid Quorums in Practical Settings

A series of recent works explore the trade-off between operation latency and data consistency in replicated data stores. In this paper, we build on the improved understandings of this trade-off and provide a new adaptive algorithm that modifies the behaviour of a quorum-based data store at runtime. In order to account for node failure we extend the existing WARS model analytically and show the accuracy of our predictions in simulations. Finally we demonstrate how our dynamic reconfiguration of the quorum sizes can be used to enhance system performance (over 30% decrease in latency) with only a small consistency cost.
