Abstract

We present a typed lambda-calculus for recording resource separation constraints between terms. The calculus contains a novel way of manipulating nested multi-place contexts augmented with constraints, allowing a concise presentation of the typing rules. It is an extension of the affine alpha-lambda-calculus. We give a semantics based on sets indexed by resources, and show how the calculus may be extended to handle non-symmetric relations with application to allowable information flow. Finally, we mention some future directions and questions we have about the calculus.
