Product Description
The latest edition of a classic text on concurrency and distributed programming – from a winner of the ACM/SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education.
Customer Reviews & Comments An excellent, rigorous, mathematical introduction to concurrent programming. This book concentrates on principles and theory, providing an excellent background for concurrent programming.
Readers expecting a tutorial on pthreads or win32 threads should look elsewhere.
A calculus for reasoning about concurrent programming is presented, along with problems, solutions, and proofs for common concurrent programming concerns.
A superb academic treatment of the topic, but not for the weak kneed.
