Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java addresses fundamentalconcepts in concurrent computing with Java examples. The bookconsists of two parts. The first part deals with techniques forprogramming in shared-memory based systems. The book coversconcepts in Java such as threads, synchronized methods, waits, andnotify to expose students to basic concepts for multi-threadedprogramming. It also includes algorithms for mutual exclusion,consensus, atomic objects, and wait-free data structures.
The second part of the book deals with programming in amessage-passing system. This part covers resource allocationproblems, logical clocks, global property detection, leaderelection, message ordering, agreement algorithms, checkpointing,and message logging. Primarily a textbook for upper-levelundergraduates and graduate students, this thorough treatment willalso be of interest to professional programmers.
