Abstract
This
paper contains a completely formal (and mechanically proved)
development of some algorithms dealing with a linked list supposed to be
shared by various processes. These algorithms are executed in a highly
concurrent fashion by an unknown number of such independent processes.
These algorithms have been first presented in [MS96] by M.M. Michael and
M.L. Scott. Two other developments of the same algorithms have been
proposed recently in [YS03] (using the 3VMC Model Checker developed by
E. Yahav) and in [DGLM04] (using I/O Automata and PVS).
Keywords
