Abstract

It is known that deadlock is one of the major challenges in concurrent systems, as sometimes this deadlock may lead to system failure as well as performance degradation. Traditional deadlock handling methods, for example, deadlock detection and prevention, have several limitations for systems that have a dynamic nature in which the structure of the system and the resource requirements change over time. In this article, we present a novel technique that can eliminate deadlocks and overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by using both proactive and reactive techniques. The approach we proposed is unique in that it introduces a dynamic deadlock resolution mechanism that dynamically adapts to changing system conditions, thus breaking the possibly growing deadlocks while not compromising system responsiveness and resource utilization. The findings highlight the effectiveness and scalability of their use in solving deadlock issues related to different concurrent systems.
