Fourth International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN '95) Reachability Problems for Cyclic Protocols Las Vegas, Nevada, USA September 20-September 23 ISBN: 0-8186-7180-7
In this paper, we study three reachability problems for cyclic protocols: (1) global state reachability; (2) abstract state reachability; and (3) execution cycle reachability. By combining fair progress and maximal progress during state exploration, we prove that these three problems are all decidable for {\cal Q}, the class of cyclic protocols with finite fair reachable state spaces. In the course of the investigation, we also show that detection of k-indefiniteness and k-livelock are decidable for {\cal Q}.
