Paper:

Ownership Types for Flexible Alias Protection
David G. Clarke, John M. Potter, James Noble
OOPSLA 1998

Paul's abstract:

Ownership types allow a programmer to statically specify, for a
complex object, which objects are its representation, and to prevent
outside code from accessing its implementation.  Ownership type
systems have applications in preventing errors and in improving the
performance of automatic memory management.
