An Algebraic Process Calculus
We present an extension of the πI-calculus with formal sums of terms. The study of the properties of this sum reveals that its neutral element can be used to make assumptions abo...

Structural Logical Relations
Tait’s method (a.k.a. proof by logical relations) is a powerful proof technique frequently used for showing foundational properties of languages based on typed λ-calculi. Histo...

On the Expressiveness and Decidability of Higher-Order Process Calculi
In higher-order process calculi the values exchanged in communications may contain processes. A core calculus of higher-order concurrency is studied; it has only the operators nec...

Collapsible Pushdown Automata and Recursion Schemes
Collapsible pushdown automata (CPDA) are a new kind of higher-order pushdown automata in which every symbol in the stack has a link to a stack situated somewhere below it. In addi...

Context Matching for Compressed Terms
This paper is an investigation of the matching problem for term equations s = t where s contains context variables, and both terms s and t are given using some kind of compressed ...

A Logic for Algebraic Effects
We present a logic for algebraic effects, based on the algebraic representation of computational effects by operations and equations. We begin with the a-calculus, a minimal calcu...

The Ordinal Recursive Complexity of Lossy Channel Systems
We show that reachability and termination for lossy channel systems is exactly at level Fωω in the Fast-Growing Hierarchy of recursive functions, the first level that dominates...

Reachability Games and Game Semantics: Comparing Nondeterministic Programs
We investigate the notions of may- and mustapproximation in Erratic Idealized Algol (a nondeterministic extension of Idealized Algol), and give explicit characterizations of both ...
