Thanks Joe.
Given that pi calculus is a process calculus, is it true
that no process calculus is particularly relevant and if
true, why? Is this because the SOA can be considered an
enabling layer but separate from the process layer?
The ambient calculus may be relevant to SOA systems given
a requirement for mobile identity in single sign on systems.

Yes - in fact, W3C Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) is based
on pi-calculus.

Answer from the SOA-RM list: Pi-calculus may be an important notation,
but it is neither used in the RM, nor is it particularly relevant to the
RM.
