Abstract

Mixed choice is a widely-used primitive in process calculi. It is interesting, as it allows to break symmetries in distributed process networks. We present an encoding of mixed choice in the context of the π-calculus and investigate to what extent it can be considered "good". As a crucial novelty, we introduce a suitable criterion to measure whether the degree of distribution in process networks is preserved.
