Abstract:

Oompa is an extension of the π-calculus which provides class-based object-orientation in the style of the CORBA object model. This technical report supplements the earlier presentation of Oompa [TBD00] by providing a sound type system with structural subtyping. The classes and interfaces of class-based languages typically give rise to highly inter-referential, and sometimes self-referential types. A key feature of our system is that these types are transformed into a bound recursive form independent of other definitions, and our subtyping algorithm guarantees termination upon types of this form. 1
