A Beginner’s Guide to the DeadLock Analysis Model

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8191))

Abstract

This paper is an introduction to the framework for the deadlock analysis of object-oriented languages we have defined in [6,5]. We present a basic Java-like language and the deadlock analysis model in an accessible way. We also overview the algorithm for deciding deadlock-freeness by discussing a number of paradigmatic examples. We finally explore the techniques for coping with extensions of the object-oriented language.
