HOpi in Coq

We propose a formalization of HOpi in Coq, a process calculus where messages carry processes. Such a higher-order calculus features two very different kinds of binder: process input, similar to lambda-abstraction, and name restriction, whose scope can be expanded by communication. We formalize strong context bisimilarity and prove it is compatible, i.e., closed under every context, using Howe's method, based on several proof schemes we developed in a previous paper.
