Abstract

International audience; In this paper we shall survey and discuss in detail the work on the relative expressiveness of recursion and replication in various process calculi. Namely, CCS, the pi-calculus, the Ambient calculus, Concurrent Constraint Programming and calculi for Cryptographic Protocols. We shall give evidence that the ability of expressing recursive behaviour via replication often depends on the scoping mechanisms of the given calculus which compensate for the restriction of replication.
