Abstract

Remote evaluation and dynamically-extensible systems pose serious safety and security risks. Programming language design has a major role in overcoming some of these risks. Important research areas include designing suitable languages for remote evaluation, identifying appropriate security and safety properties for them, and developing provably-sound logics for reasoning about the properties in the context of separate compilation and dynamic linking.
