Abstract:

Token-passing nets were proposed by Sinot as a simple mechanism for encoding evaluation strategies for the λ-calculus in interaction nets. This work extends token-passing nets to cover a typed functional language equipped with structured types and unrestricted recursion. The resulting interaction system is derived systematically from the chosen big-step operational semantics. Along the way, we actually characterize and discuss several design decisions of token-passing nets and extend them in order to achieve simpler interaction net systems with a higher degree of embedded parallelism.
