15-816 Linear Logic
Lecture 22: Linear Logical Framework

We introduce the linear logical framework (LLF) and show how examples previously discussed can be represented in it. While LLF works quite well for the representation if imperative languages, it is less successful for concurrent languages, basically because the search semantics is inherently sequential.

Toward the end of the lecture we speculate a bit on how concurrency might be reconciled with LLF without giving up a tractable equational theory and incorrect operational semantics. This is currently under investigation in joint work with Dave Walker and Iliano Cervesato.
