摘要：Several notions of synchronizability of a message-passing system have been introduced in the literature. Roughly, a system is called synchronizable if every execution can be rescheduled so that it meets certain criteria, e.g., a channel bound. We provide a framework, based on MSO logic and (special) tree-width, that unifies existing definitions, explains their good properties, and allows one to easily derive other, more general definitions and decidability results for synchronizability.
