Session types are type-theoretic specifications of communication protocols in concurrent or distributed systems. By codifying the structure of communication, they make software more reliable and easier to construct. Over recent decades, the topic has become a large and active research area within the field of programming language theory and implementation. Written by leading researchers in the field, this is the first text to provide a comprehensive introduction to the key concepts of session types. The thorough theoretical treatment is complemented by examples and exercises, suitable for use in a lecture course or for self-study. It serves as an entry point to the topic for graduate students and researchers.

'This book on session types, one of most fruitful and successful topics in concurrency theory over the past 30 years, is written with great clarity, deep insight, and enthusiasm by two of most renowned researchers in the field. It is a most welcomed text, both for learning from and for teaching. It offers a comprehensive account of the basic theory and explains the possible applications, beautifully leavened with insightful examples and exercises. It will become -- and well deserves to become - the definitive reference textbook on session types.' Davide Sangiorgi, University of Bologna
