Abstract

EXTENDED PMD is a methodology for detecting communication- and concurrency-related errors in CSP-based languages. A static analysis of the source program is used to build a model which is augmented with dynamic information from a dedicated hardware monitor. These information allow a post-mortem analysis of the program with automatic detection of errors. EXTENDED PMD has been applied to Joyce[1], a semantic variant of CSP based on a subset of common Pascal.
