On Concurrent Programming (Graduate Texts in Computer Science)

Hardcover Edition in Very Good condition. The covers show a little edge wear, but are in overall good shape. Faint staining to the front edge of the text block. The binding is square and tight. Small abrasion to the front flyleaf. Slight mustiness to the book. The interior pages are unmarked. The book will be carefully packaged for shipment for protection from the elements. USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge. Here, one of the leading figures in the field provides a comprehensive survey of the subject, beginning with prepositional logic and concluding with concurrent programming. It is based on graduate courses taught at Cornell University and is designed for use as a graduate text. Professor Schneier emphasises the use of formal methods and assertional reasoning using notation and paradigms drawn from programming to drive the exposition, while exercises at the end of each chapter extend and illustrate the main themes covered. As a result, all those interested in studying concurrent computing will find this an invaluable approach to the subject.…
