Nels Beckman. A Survey of Methods for Detecting Race Conditions - This is a litterature survey done for a final project in Analysis of Software Artifacts. In it I compare type systems, dynamic analysis, model-checking, and flow-based analysis as methods for detecting race conditions in programs. It may be of some minor interest to anyone who needs background in this area.
