Debugging Distributed Computations in a Nest Atomic Action System
Author(s)
Chiu, Sheng YangAbstract
Concurrent and distributed programs are hard to debug. In this thesis, we argue that structuring activities as nested atomic actions can make debugging such programs much like debugging traditional sequential programs. To support the argument, we present a method for debugging computations in the Argus language and system. Our method is applicable to other action systems since it depends only on the atomicity properties of actions.
