  This paper presents the mechanization of a process algebra for Mobile Ad hoc
Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks, and the development of a compositional
framework for proving invariant properties. Mechanizing the core process
algebra in Isabelle/HOL is relatively standard, but its layered structure
necessitates special treatment. The control states of reactive processes, such
as nodes in a network, are modelled by terms of the process algebra. We propose
a technique based on these terms to streamline proofs of inductive invariance.
This is not sufficient, however, to state and prove invariants that relate
states across multiple processes (entire networks). To this end, we propose a
novel compositional technique for lifting global invariants stated at the level
of individual nodes to networks of nodes.
