Abstract

There is great interest in applying nominal calculi--computational formalisms that include dynamic name generation--to the problems of programming, specifying, and verifying secure and mobile computations. These notes introduce three nominal calculi--the pi calculus, the spi calculus, and the ambient calculus. We describe some typical techniques, and survey related work.
