[Tex/LaTex] Trying to put a box around a collection of subfigures

framedieeetransubfloats

I'm trying to have a bounding box around the following figure:

\begin{figure}[htp]
\begin{center} 
\subfigure[Process with no error]{\label{noerror}\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{noerror-process}}
\subfigure[Process with syntactic  errors (connector having multiple incoming edges and presence of hanging node)]{\label{synerror}\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{synerror-process}} \\
\subfigure[Process with deadlock]{\label{deadlock}\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{deadlock-process}}
\subfigure[Process with lack of synchronization]{\label{lacksync}\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{lacksync-process}}
\end{center} 
\caption{Different kinds of errors occuring in InFlux Processes}
\label{processes}
\vspace*{-0.65cm}
\end{figure}

Can you please help?
