Abstract

This paper surveys the program dependence analysis technique for parallel and/or distributed programs and its applications from the viewpoint of software engineering. We present primary program dependences which may exist in a parallel and/or distributed program, a general approach to define, analyze, and represent these program dependences formally, and applications of an explicit program dependence based representation for parallel and/or distributed programs in various software engineering activities. We also suggest some research problems on this direction.
