Namely, CCS, the $\pi $-calculus, the Ambient calculus, Concurrent Constraint Programming and calculi for Cryptographic Protocols. We give evidence that the ability of expressing recursive behaviour via replication often depends on the scoping mechanisms of the given calculus which compensate for the restriction of replication. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-540-74792-5\_9} \end
