Abstract

A variant of π-calculus which can flexibly and dynamically control process modularity is presented. The calculus is equipped with a two level structure to represent process distribution and mobility over flat locations. It provides a suitable model for modular programming in concurrent and mobile computing. Several bisimulation relations are discussed, and a notion of bisimulation-preorder is proposed to reflect some aspects of mobile distributed computing such as interaction costs.
