A Formal Type System for Java

By: Mourad Debbabi, M. Fourati

Abstract

We believe that a formal study of Java is very useful to clarify, correct and complete its semantics. It can only be advantageous to consolidate and establish Java security, and make it possible to reason about effective compilation. In our view, a semantics theory for Java is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
