Popis: This paper presents new results from a study of flow-of-control in programs involving concurrent processes. Within the framework of flow-of-control, this paper:1) defines a property of parallel program behavior called proper termination (PT);2) shows that any properly terminating program containing a specification of the resources it requires will be free of deadlock;3) identifies other important features of PT programs; and4) presents an algorithm to rapidly decide PT for a given program.This work is presented in the context of the control-flow component of a complex bigraph (complex bi-logic directed graph) model of computation [1,10].
