Abstract
Based on a name-passing calculus and on its typing system we show how to build several language constructors towards strongly-typed concurrent programming languages. In particular, we introduce a notion of datatype declaration , and show how to create values of a datatype and how to take such values apart. Further expressions include a form of abstraction and of application. Expressions evaluate to names and can replace any (non-binding) name in the calculus, thus achieving a clean incorporation of expressions in a name-passing calculus. A systematic translation of the derived constructors into the basic calculus provides for the semantics and for typing rules for the new construc-tors. c
