The Distributed Join Calculus is also a really lovely piece of design in
this area:
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/fournet/papers/join-tutorial.pdf.
It'd be difficult to turn it into a "binary pi/join calculus", though,
because to make it address the reality of communication you'd have to come
up with some way of naming channels in the binary encoding that wasn't
ad-hoc. Truly integrating communication seems somehow to unavoidably drag
in a bunch of metamachinery that no-one really knows how to build yet.
