Deadlock analysis of asynchronous sequential processes

In this thesis we present ad study an object-oriented language, characterized by two different types of objects, passive and active objects, of which we define the operational syntax and semantics. For this language we also define the type system, that will be used for the type checking and for the extraction of behavioral types, which are an abstract description of the behavior of the methods, used in deadlock analysis. Programs can manifest deadlock due to the errors of the programmer. To statically identify possible unintended behaviors we studied and implemented a technique for the analysis of deadlock based on behavioral types
