We give an axiomatisation of strong bisimilarity on a small fragment of CCS that does not feature the sum operator. This axiomatisation is then used to derive congruence of strong bisimilarity in the finite pi-calculus in absence of sum. To…
Triangle Counting (TC) is a procedure that involves enumerating the number of triangles within a graph. It has important applications in numerous fields, such as social or biological network analysis and network security. TC is a…
We propose an automated method for proving termination of $\pi$-calculus processes, based on a reduction to termination of sequential programs: we translate a $\pi$-calculus process to a sequential program, so that the termination of the…
We introduce the calculus of Classical Transitions (CT), which extends the research line on the relationship between linear logic and processes to labelled transitions. The key twist from previous work is registering parallelism in typing…
We design games for truly concurrent bisimilarities, including strongly truly concurrent bisimilarities and branching truly concurrent bisimilarities, such as pomset bisimilarities, step bisimilarities, history-preserving bisimilarities and…
The notion of Reactive Turing machine (RTM) was proposed as an orthogonal extension of Turing machines with interaction. RTMs are used to define the notion of executable transition system in the same way as Turing machines are used to…
The $\pi$-calculus is a process algebra where agents interact by sending communication links to each other via noiseless communication channels. Taking into account the reality of noisy channels, an extension of the $\pi$-calculus, called…
We consider two characterisations of the may and must testing preorders for a probabilistic extension of the finite pi-calculus: one based on notions of probabilistic weak simulations, and the other on a probabilistic extension of a…
We present Concurrent GV (CGV), a functional calculus with message-passing concurrency governed by session types. With respect to prior calculi, CGV has increased support for concurrent evaluation and for cyclic network topologies. The…
Process calculi based in logic, such as $\pi$DILL and CP, provide a foundation for deadlock-free concurrent programming, but exclude non-determinism and races. HCP is a reformulation of CP which addresses a fundamental shortcoming: the…
We formalise the pi-calculus using the nominal datatype package, based on ideas from the nominal logic by Pitts et al., and demonstrate an implementation in Isabelle/HOL. The purpose is to derive powerful induction rules for the semantics…
The $\pi$-calculus is used as a model for programming languages. Its contexts exhibit arbitrary concurrency, making them very discriminating. This may prevent validating desirable behavioural equivalences in cases when more disciplined…
We study the nature of applicative bisimilarity in $\lambda$-calculi endowed with operators for sampling from continuous distributions. On the one hand, we show that bisimilarity, logical equivalence, and testing equivalence all coincide…
This paper shows how we can make use of an asynchronous transition system, whose transitions are labelled with events and which is equipped with a notion of independence of events, to define non-interleaving semantics for the applied…
The Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model serves as a common abstraction of many modern large-scale data processing frameworks, and has been receiving increasingly more attention over the past few years, especially in the context of…
We present Concurrent GV (CGV), a functional calculus with message-passing concurrency governed by session types. With respect to prior calculi, CGV has increased support for concurrent evaluation and for cyclic network topologies. The…
Initiated by Abramsky [1994], the Proofs as Processes agenda is to establish a solid foundation for the study of concurrent languages, by researching the connection between linear logic and the $\pi$-calculus. To date, Proofs as Processes…
We present a formalisation in Agda of the theory of concurrent transitions, residuation, and causal equivalence of traces for the pi-calculus. Our formalisation employs de Bruijn indices and dependently-typed syntax, and aligns the "proved…
Fair termination is the property of programs that may diverge "in principle" but that terminate "in practice", i.e. under suitable fairness assumptions concerning the resolution of non-deterministic choices. We study a conservative…
While distributed systems with transfer of processes have become pervasive, methods for reasoning about their behaviour are underdeveloped. In this paper we propose a bisimulation technique for proving behavioural equivalence of such…
