Abstract

In earlier work we explored the expressiveness and algebraic theory Psi-calculi, which form a parametric framework for extensions of the pi-calculus. In the current paper we consider higher-order psi-calculi through a technically surprisingly simple extension of the framework, and show how an arbitrary psi-calculus can be lifted to its higher-order counterpart in a canonical way. We illustrate this with examples and establish an algebraic theory of higher-order psi-calculi. The formal results are obtained by extending our proof repositories in Isabelle/Nominal.
