Parameterization extends higher-order processes with the capability of abstraction (akin to that in lambda-calculus), and is known to be able to enhance the expressiveness. This paper focuses on the parameterization of names, i.e. a…
Locks are a classic data structure for concurrent programming. We introduce a type system to ensure that names of the asynchronous pi-calculus are used as locks. Our calculus also features a construct to deallocate a lock once we know that…
Name-passing calculi are foundational models for mobile computing. Research into these models has produced a wealth of results ranging from relative expressiveness to programming pragmatics. The diversity of these results call for…
Parameterization extends higher-order processes with the capability of abstraction and application (like those in lambda-calculus). This extension is strict, i.e., higher-order processes equipped with parameterization is computationally…
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…
Applied process calculi include advanced programming constructs such as type systems, communication with pattern matching, encryption primitives, concurrent constraints, nondeterminism, process creation, and dynamic connection topologies.…
This paper proposes first-order modal $\xi$-calculus as well as genealogical Kripke models. Inspired by modal $\mu$-calculus, first-order modal $\xi$-calculus takes a quite similar form and extends its inductive expressivity onto a…
Continuous first-order logic is used to apply model-theoretic analysis to analytic structures (e.g. Hilbert spaces, Banach spaces, probability spaces, etc.). Classical computable model theory is used to examine the algorithmic structure of…
This paper presents a logical approach to the translation of functional calculi into concurrent process calculi. The starting point is a type system for the {\pi}-calculus closely related to linear logic. Decompositions of intuitionistic…
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…
Psi-calculi is a parametric framework for extensions of the pi-calculus with data terms and arbitrary logics. In this framework there is no direct way to represent action priorities, where an action can execute only if all other enabled…
Sharing confidential information in distributed systems is a necessity in many applications, however, it opens the problem of controlling information sharing even among trusted parties. In this paper, we present a formal model in which…
Symbolic computation, powered by modern computer algebra systems, has important applications in mathematical reasoning through exact deep computations. The efficiency of symbolic computation is largely constrained by such deep computations…
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…
In this paper we propose a formal framework for studying privacy in information systems. The proposal follows a two-axes schema where the first axis considers privacy as a taxonomy of rights and the second axis involves the ways an…
Topological self-stabilization describes the ability of a distributed system to let the nodes themselves establish a meaningful overlay network. Independent from the initial network topology, the system converges to the desired topology via…
The spi-calculus is a formal model for the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols: many security properties, such as authentication and strong confidentiality, can be reduced to the verification of behavioural equivalences between…
The depth-bounded fragment of the pi-calculus is an expressive class of systems enjoying decidability of some important verification problems. Unfortunately membership of the fragment is undecidable. We propose a novel type system,…
This paper is the first thorough investigation into the coarsest notion of bisimilarity for the applied pi-calculus that is a congruence relation: open barbed bisimilarity. An open variant of labelled bisimilarity (quasi-open bisimilarity),…
We introduce a dialect of the Asynchronous pi-calculus, called AWpi, in which (1) an input name may be owned, at any time, by at most one process; (2) each name has either only the input or only the output capability. As a result, special…
