- ORIGINALITY: this is the first full integration of session types and object-oriented programming, considering session types as a form of typestate and developing a unified theory. SIGNIFICANCE: expanded version of a highly-cited paper from ACM POPL 2010 (https://doi.org/10.1145/1706299.1706335), a top programming language conference. The work provided a foundation for the Mungo/StMungo tools for programming with session types and typestate in Java, presented in four further papers and extended by other researchers in a paper at APLAS 2020. RIGOUR: the type system is defined formally for a core language, and its correctness is proved mathematically with respect to an operational semantics.
