Abstract

The φ-calculus is a process algebra for modelling concurrent systems in which the pattern of communication between processes may change over time. This paper describes the results of preliminary work on a definitional formal theory of the φ-calculus in higher order logic using the HOL theorem prover. The ultimate goal of this work is to provide practical mechanized support for reasoning with the φ-calculus about applications.
