Beta-binders is a bio-inspired formalism with a formal reduction semantics in the process calculi style. The terms of the language are boxes with an internal processing engine and provided with interfaces for interactions with the other boxes in the environment. Although Beta-binders shares some features with Ambient-like calculi, it exhibits a quite distinctive communication paradigm which might show to be relevant to modelling scenarios other than the biological ones. In the perspective of developing a formal theory for the language, and hence deepening the understanding of such a communication paradigm, here we define a labelled semantics for Beta-binders and show its correspondence to the original reduction semantics.

Abstract
Beta-binders is a bio-inspired formalism with a formal reduction semantics in the process calculi style. The terms of the language are boxes with an internal processing engine and provided with interfaces for interactions with the other boxes in the environment. Although Beta-binders shares some features with Ambient-like calculi, it exhibits a quite distinctive communication paradigm which might show to be relevant to modelling scenarios other than the biological ones. In the perspective of developing a formal theory for the language, and hence deepening the understanding of such a communication paradigm, here we define a labelled semantics for Beta-binders and show its correspondence to the original reduction semantics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
