An efficient distributed deadlock avoidance algorithm for the AND model.

A new rank-based distributed deadlock avoidance algorithm for the AND resource request model is presented. Deadlocks are avoided by dynamically maintaining an invariant Con(WFG): For each pair of processes pi and pj, pi is allowed to wait for process pj iff the rank of pj is greater than that of pi...
