Abstract

This paper provides a contribution to the formal modeling and verification of programs written in the concurrent functional programming language Erlang, which is designed for telecommunication applications. It presents a mapping of Core Erlang programs into the π--calculus, a process algebra whose name--passing feature allows to represent the mobile aspects of Erlang software in a natural way.
