Summary

Shows how to utilize the Java programming language to write programs that use semaphores, monitors, message passing, remote procedure calls, and the rendezvous for thread synchronization and communication. A Java algorithm animation package is also described and there is a website which supports this publication.

Concurrent Programming Summary

Concurrent Programming by Hartley

This book shows professional programmers and students in operating systems and concurrent programming classes how to utilize the Java programming language to write programs that use semaphores, monitors, message passing, remote procedure calls, and the rendezvous for thread synchronization and communication. A Java algorithm animation package is also described.

Concurrent Programming Reviews

A great book. Our top students love it. We could use it in three courses.--R. Waldo Roth, Taylor University A neatly written book, a handy companion to an operating systems text.--Marek, Suchenek, California State University Dominguez Hills Hartley's excellent introduction to the concurrency features of Java uses concurrency problems from the operating systems domain as the driving applications. . . . Examples guide the student through many iterations of solutions, and show along the way how some solutions may be incorrect, and how they can be corrected and made efficient. . . . Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners who already know sequential Java well, and who are interested in understanding and implementing concurrent programs in Java.--Choice
