Termination detection for active objects

We investigate deadlock detection for a modeling language based on active objects. To detect deadlock in an Actor-like subset of Creol we focus on the communication between the active objects. For the analysis of the model we translate a Creol configuration to a process algebra featuring the Linda coordination primitives. The translation preserves the deadlock behaviour of the model and allows us to apply a formalism introduced by Busi et al. (2000) [3] to detect global deadlocks in the process algebra.
