This book presents a modern approach to software systems, ideally suited to the needs of today's students and programmers. It focuses on those concepts in concurrency that play a vital role in the design of operating systems, database systems, distributed systems and communication networks.
In the second edition, an object-oriented paradigm is used as a unifying framework, the principles of concurrency are developed from simple uniprocessor systems through to modern multiprocessor systems with shared memory or in distributed enviroments. The evolution of the concepts leads naturally to transactions, concurrency control and recovery for distributed databases.
