  In this paper we compare three different formalisms that can be used in the
area of models for distributed, concurrent and mobile systems. In particular we
analyze the relationships between a process calculus, the Fusion Calculus,
graph transformations in the Synchronized Hyperedge Replacement with Hoare
synchronization (HSHR) approach and logic programming. We present a translation
from Fusion Calculus into HSHR (whereas Fusion Calculus uses Milner
synchronization) and prove a correspondence between the reduction semantics of
Fusion Calculus and HSHR transitions. We also present a mapping from HSHR into
a transactional version of logic programming and prove that there is a full
correspondence between the two formalisms. The resulting mapping from Fusion
Calculus to logic programming is interesting since it shows the tight analogies
between the two formalisms, in particular for handling name generation and
mobility. The intermediate step in terms of HSHR is convenient since graph
transformations allow for multiple, remote synchronizations, as required by
Fusion Calculus semantics.
