Abstract

It is shown that the applicability of global state analysis as a tool for proving correctness of communication protocols is limited. Brand and Zafiropulo (1983) showed that reachability of global deadlock states for protocols with unbounded FIFO channels is undecidable. It is shown that the same is true for unbounded non-FIFO channels. For bounded FIFO channels the problem is shown to be PSPACE-hard.
