Structural Contracts -- Contracts for Type Construction & Dependent Types to Ensure Consistency of Extra-Functional Reasoning
Targeting to use contract-based design for the specification and refinement of extra-functional properties, this research abstract suggests to use type constraints and dependent types to ensure correct and consistent top-down decomposition of contracts with respect to a specifiable type constructor. For this, we summarize the composition problem and give a short draft of our approach, called Structural Contracts.
