About permutation algebras, (pre)sheaves and named sets

In this paper we survey some well-known approaches proposed as general models for calculi dealing with names (like for example process calculi with name-passing). We focus on (pre)sheaf categories, nominal sets, permutation algebras and named sets, studying the relationships among these models, thus allowing techniques and constructions to be transferred from one model to the other. Keywords Nominal calculi . Permutation algebras . Presheaf categories . Named sets
