Evaluation of a weak calculus featuring expressive pattern matching mechanisms is investigated by means of the construction of an efficient model of sharing. The sharing theory and its graph implementation are based on a labelling system derived from an analysis of causality relations between evaluation steps. The labelled calculus enjoys properties of confluence and finite developments, and is also used for proving correctness and optimality of a whole set of reduction strategies.
