Abstract:

Program dependences are dependence relationships holding between statements in a program which can be used to infer about the behavior of the program. In this paper we propose a general framework for dependence analysis for concurrent logic programs, in particular for Flat Concurrent Prolog programs. The first contribution of this paper is to present two language-independent program representations for explicitly representing control flows and/or data flows in a concurrent logic program. Based on these representations, program dependence analysis for concurrent logic programs becomes possible. The second contribution is to present a dependence-based representation named the Literal Dependence Net (LDN) for explicitly representing primary program dependences in a concurrent logic program. Moreover, we discuss some possible applications based on the LDN, which include program debugging, testing, complexity measurement, and maintenance in a concurrent logic programming environment. 1
