Abstract

A distributed system consists of a set of loosely connected state machines which do not share a global memory. All the possible global states of the system can be split up into legal and illegal states. A self-stabilizing system is a network of processors, which, when started from an arbitrary (and possibly illegal) initial state, always returns to a legal state in a finite number of steps. Self-stabilization has already been applied to some areas of distributed systems such as mutual exclusion, communication protocols, leader election, etc. [3][4]. This paper will present self-stabilizing deadlock detection algorithms, for single and multiple outstanding requests. Self-stabilizing methods for deadlock resolution and prevention are also discussed.
