  • Publication number: 20080092147
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining deadlocks in secondary processes for a system model that is described in an object-oriented manner. The method includes the following: a) all active objects of the object-oriented system model are extracted; b) the transitions between the objects are identified; c) the state-waiting relations between the objects are established; d) potential deadlocks are determined as cycles of entities of two or more different objects, which wait for each other; and e) for each deadlock, all potential paths resulting in a determined deadlock are verified by way of a simulated execution of the system model.
