Abstract

Chi and Update calculi have been independently introduced in order to model mobile systems. The two calculi are very close to each other and represent an evolution of pi-calculus. More recently a (non-straightforward) polyadic version of the Update calculus, the Fusion calculus, has been proposed.In the paper we give a fully abstract encoding from an asynchronous variant of Chi and Update calculi to asynchronous pi-calculus. This proves that, at least for their asynchronous variants, Chi and Update calculi are not more expressive than pi-calculus. A similar result can be proved for the Fusion calculus.
