About this Item

Hardcover. Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java addresses fundamental concepts in concurrent computing with Java examples. The book consists of two parts. The first part deals with techniques for programming in shared-memory based systems. The book covers concepts in Java such as threads, synchronized methods, waits, and notify to expose students to basic concepts for multi-threaded programming. 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 a message-passing system. This part covers resource allocation problems, logical clocks, global property detection, leader election, message ordering, agreement algorithms, checkpointing, and message logging. Primarily a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this thorough treatment will also be of interest to professional programmers. Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java addresses fundamental concepts in concurrent computing with Java examples. This groundbreaking textbook describes important concepts in distributed computing without excessive mathematical notation and allows readers to run and experiment with actual algorithms in Java. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
