Effectful Computation in Moggi's Calculus with Records and Subtyping

Dieter Brunotte

Bachelor's Thesis, Saarland University, 2006

Many theoretical results about programming languages are stated for effect-free lambda calculus only, or add effects (such as I/O and state) in an ad-hoc manner. With his computational monads, Moggi presented an abstract framework that fits a wide range of computational effects. Some languages, notably ob ject-oriented ones, feature subtyping in addition to effects.
In my Bachelor thesis I present an extension of Moggi’s computational monads with subtyping. As an application of the theory we show that Abadi and Cardelli’s imperative ob ject calculus can be embedded into our system, in a way that ensures type safety.
