Principles of concurrent and distributed programming (2nd rev. ed)

Principles of Concurrent and Distributed Programming provides an introduction to concurrent programming focusing on general principles and not on specific systems.

Software today is inherently concurrent or distributed from event-based GUI designs to operating and real-time systems to Internet applications.

The new edition of this classic introduction to concurrency has been completely revised in view of the growing importance of concurrency constructs embedded in programming languages and of formal methods such as model checking that are widely used in industry.
