Abstract: Deadlock detection is an essential aspect of concurrency control in parallel and distributed systems, as it ensures the efficient utilization of resources and prevents indefinite delays. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the various deadlock detection techniques, including static and dynamic approaches. We discuss the future improvements associated with deadlock detection and provide a comparative evaluation of these techniques in terms of their accuracy, complexity, and scalability. Furthermore, we outline potential future research directions to improve deadlock detection mechanisms and enhance system performance.

Keywords: deadlock detection; static analysis; dynamic analysis
