Annotation

The central notion of this paper is that of contracts for concurrency, allowing one to capture the expected atomicity of sequences of method or service calls in a concurrent program. The contracts may be either extracted automatically from the source code, or provided by developers of libraries or software modules to reflect their expected usage in a concurrent setting. We start by extending the so-far considered notion of contracts for concurrency in several ways, improving their expressiveness and enhancing their applicability in practice. Then, we propose two complementary analyses---a static and a dynamic one---to verify programs against the extended contracts. We have implemented both approaches and present promising experimental results from their application on various programs, including real-world ones where our approach unveiled previously unknown errors.
