Higher-Order Linearisability

Abstract

Linearisability is a central notion for verifying concurrent libraries: a library is proven correct if its operational history can be rearranged into a sequential one that satisfies a given specification.
Until now, linearisability has been examined for libraries in which method arguments and method results were of ground type.
In this paper we extend linearisability to the general higher-order setting, where methods of arbitrary type can be passed as arguments and returned as values, and establish its soundness.
