+==== Abstract ====
+Computational effects complicate the tasks of reasoning about and
+maintaining software, due to the many kinds of interferences that
+can occur. While different proposals have been formulated to
+alleviate the fragility and burden of dealing with specific effects,
+such as state or exceptions, there is no prevalent robust mechanism
+that addresses the general interference issue. Building upon the
+idea of capability-based security, we propose effect capabilities as
+an effective and flexible manner to control monadic effects and
+their interferences. Capabilities can be selectively shared between
+modules to establish secure effect-centric coordination. We further
+refine capabilities with type-based permission lattices to allow
+fine-grained decomposition of authority. We provide an
+implementation of effect capabilities in Haskell, using type classes
+to establish a way to statically share capabilities between modules,
+as well as to check proper access permissions to effects at compile
+time. We first exemplify how to tame effect interferences using
+effect capabilities by treating state and exceptions. Then we focus
+on taming I/O by proposing a fine-grained lattice of I/O permissions
+based on the current classification of its operations. Finally, we
+show that integrating effect capabilities with modern tag-based
+monadic mechanisms provides a practical, modular and safe mechanism
+for monadic programming in Haskell.
+==== Implementation and Examples ====
+The Haskell implementation of Effect Capabilities and the examples of the paper are available in [[https://github.com/ifigueroap/effect-capabilities/tree/scp|Github]]. The code was tested in the [[http://www.haskell.org/platform/|Haskell Platform]] version 2014.2.0.
