Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "We consider loosely-coupled multiprocessors on which memory is distributed. We discuss transaction schedulers which both serialise transactions and minimize network messages. Two distributed deadlock detection algorithms are given which are 'truly distributed' in the sense that they require no synchronisation procedures or central control. These algorithms can be used in the more general distributed case. Formal proofs of their correctness are given, together with a discussion of their efficiency and a comparison with published algorithms
We believe that the formal proof notation and method should be useful for verifying other distributed algorithms where communication is by message passing.
