Abstract

In this paper we study an asynchronous distributed π-calculus, with constructs for localities and migration. We show that a simple static analysis ensures the receptiveness of channel names, which, together with a simple type system, guarantees that any migrating message will find an appropriate receiver at its destination locality. We argue that this receptive calculus is still expressive enough, by showing that it contains the π1-calculus, up to weak asynchronous bisimulation.
