Abstract
One of the major difficulties encountered when dealing with concurrent programs is that reproducible behavior may not be assumed. As a result, it is difficult to validate and debug such systems. In this paper, structural restrictions are presented that ensure that reproducible behavior will occur in concurrent programs. The application of this to system design is discussed. Keywords: time dependent behavior, concurrency, synchronization, monitors, Concurrent Pascal.
