Brane Calculi
We introduce a family of process calculi with dynamic nested membranes. In contrast to related calculi, including some developed for biological applications, active entities here a...

A General Name Binding Mechanism
We study fusion and binding mechanisms in name passing process calculi. To this purpose, we introduce the U-Calculus, a process calculus with no I/O polarities and a unique form of...

Separation Results Via Leader Election Problems
Abstract. We compare the expressive power of process calculi by studying the problem of electing a leader in a symmetric network of processes. We consider the π-calculus with mixe...

Deriving Weak Bisimulation Congruences from Reduction Systems
The focus of process calculi is interaction rather than computation, and for this very reason: (i) their operational semantics is conveniently expressed by labelled transition syst...

Translating FSP into LOTOS and Networks of Automata
Many process calculi have been proposed since Robin Milner and Tony Hoare opened the way more than 25 years ago. Although they are based on the same kernel of operators, most of th...

Semantic Barbs and Biorthogonality
We use the framework of biorthogonality to introduce a novel semantic definition of the concept of barb (basic observable) for process calculi. We develop a uniform basic theory o...

Making Random Choices Invisible to the Scheduler
Abstract. When dealing with process calculi and automata which express both nondeterministic and probabilistic behavior, it is customary to introduce the notion of scheduler to res...

Expressive Models for Synaptic Plasticity
We explore some presynaptic mechanisms of the calyx of Held synapse through a stochastic model. The model, drawn from a kinetic approach developed in literature, exploits process c...
