On sequentiality and well-bracketing in the π-calculus

Résumé

The π -calculus is used as a model for programming languages. Its contexts exhibit arbitrary concurrency, making them very discriminating. This may prevent validating desir- able behavioural equivalences in cases when more disciplined contexts are expected. In this paper we focus on two such common disciplines: sequentiality, meaning that at any time there is a single thread of computation, and well-bracketing, meaning that calls to external services obey a stack-like discipline. We formalise the disciplines by means of type systems. The main focus of the paper is on studying the consequence of the disciplines on behavioural equivalence. We define and study labelled bisim- ilarities for sequentiality and well-bracketing. These relations are coarser than ordinary bisimilarity. We prove that they are sound for the respective (contextual) barbed equivalence, and also complete under a certain technical condition. We show the usefulness of our techniques on a number of examples, that have mainly to do with the representation of functions and store.
