Stochastic {pi}-Calculus

We extend the {pi}-calculus, a model of concurrent processes based on the notion of naming, to cope with performance modelling. The new language is called the stochastic {pi}-calculus (S{pi}). We obtain a more expressive language than classical stochastic process algebras because S{pi} is given in the classical structural operational approach. In order to effectively computer performance measures, we define a stratified transition system that is finitely branching. We give a transition rule to directly yield a continuous time Markov chain from an S{pi} specification, with no transition system manipulation.
