Synthesis of Safe Message-Passing Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 4855))

Abstract

We show that any regular set of basic MSCs can be implemented by a deadlock-free communicating finite-state machine with local termination: Processes stop in local dead-states independently from the contents of channels and the local states of other processes. We present a self-contained, direct, and relatively simple construction based on a new notion called context MSC.
