Beschreibung
Typing plays an important role in software development. Types can be consid- ered as weak specifications of programs and checking that a program is of a certain type provides a verification that a program satisfies such a weak speci- fication. By translating a problem specification into a proposition in constructive logic, one can go one step further: the effectiveness and unifonnity of a con- structive proof allows us to extract a program from a proof of this proposition. Thus by the "e;proposition-as-types"e; paradigm one obtains types whose elements are considered as proofs. Each of these proofs contains a program correct w.r.t. the given problem specification. This opens the way for a coherent approach to the derivation of provably correct programs. These features have led to a "e;typeful"e; programming style where the classi- cal typing concepts such as records or (static) arrays are enhanced by polymor- phic and dependent types in such a way that the types themselves get a complex mathematical structure. Systems such as Coquand and Huet's Calculus of Con- structions are calculi for computing within extended type systems and provide a basis for a deduction oriented mathematical foundation of programming. On the other hand, the computational power and the expressive (impred- icativity !) of these systems makes it difficult to define appropriate semantics.
