We study encodings from CSP into asynchronous CCS with name passing and
matching, so in fact, the asynchronous pi-calculus. By doing so, we discuss two
different ways to map the multi-way synchronisation mechanism of CSP into the
two-way synchronisation mechanism of CCS. Both encodings satisfy the criteria
of Gorla except for compositionality, as both use an additional top-level
context. Following the work of Parrow and Sj\"odin, the first encoding uses a
centralised coordinator and establishes a variant of weak bisimilarity between
source terms and their translations. The second encoding is decentralised, and
thus more efficient, but ensures only a form of coupled similarity between
source terms and their translations.Comment: In Proceedings EXPRESS/SOS 2015, arXiv:1508.0634
