Programming Languages 2022-02-23 v3 Software Engineering

Abstract

This paper presents a lightweight formalism (a trace) to model message-passing concurrent executions where some common common problems can be identified, like lost or delayed messages, some forms of deadlock, etc. In particular, we consider (potential) message races that can be useful to analyze alternative executions. We consider a particular application for our developments in the context of a causal-consistent reversible debugging framework for Erlang programs
