FLOLAC'18

Lecturer

Aims

  • To learn a basic process algebra (mobility and communication via the pi-calculus)
  • To learn a basic semantics of the pi-calculus
  • To learn a basic type theory of the pi-calculus (session types)
  • To learn applications of the pi-calculus (protocols, distributed and concurrent languages based on communications)

Learning outcomes

Students can learn basic mathematics behind process algebra and know its application areas.

Syllabus

To describe process models for specifying and verifying concurrent systems. In particular, to focus on the pi-calculus, which provides communication via message passing. Calculi for mobility and its applications: mobility via message passing, the pi-calculus, expressiveness, session types, distributed mobility and applications to protocol verifications, and programming languages.
