Abstract

Symbolic characterizations of bisimilarities for the applied pi-calculus proposed so far are sound but incomplete, even restricted to the finite fragment of the calculus. In this paper we present a novel approach to symbolic semantics for the applied pi-calculus, leading to a notion of symbolic bisimulation which is both sound and complete with respect to the standard concrete bisimulation. Moreover, our approach accommodates recursions hence works for the full calculus.
