Expressing BBUFs Lookup Using the π-Calculus

Abstract

In this paper we express Babes Bolyai University File System lookup mechanism by using π-calculus. We describe the lookup process in a peer-to-peer decentralized system, how a request message is forwarded from a client to a system node, and how the response is replied. The formally specified protocol is verified by using the Mobility Workbench model-checker.
