Abstract

The π-calculus is the paradigmatic calculus for process mobility. Its theory has been studied in depth [8,12]. Relevant parts of it are the algebraic theory and the type systems. Most of the algebraic theory has been developed on the untyped calculus; the results include proof systems or axiomatisations that are sound and complete on finite processes for the main behavioral equivalences: late and early bisimilarity, late and early congruence [9,6,7], open bisimilarity [11], testing equivalence [1]. Much of the research on types has focused on their behavioral effects. For instance, modifications of the standard behavioral equivalences have been proposed so as to take types into account [10,12].
