Tile Formats for Located and Mobile Systems

Standard SOS formats are limited in their ability to define the operational semantics of process calculi with concurrency, causality, and mobility, and with bound names and name generation mechanisms. In this paper we describe a general approach, based on the tile model, to the definition of the operational semantics of process calculi. By providing tile systems for located CCS and asynchronous π-calculus we demonstrate that the proposed approach is more suited than SOS to provide a uniform treatment of concurrency and mobility within a compositional framework.
