Concurrent Programming: Algorithms, Principles, and Foundations by Michel Raynal

Concurrent Programming: Algorithms, Principles, and Foundations by Michel Raynal

This book explains synchronization and the implementation of concurrent objects, presenting synchronization algorithms while also introducing the theory that underlies the implementation of concurrent objects in the presence of asynchrony and process crashes.

From the reviews:

“Concurrent programming is the study of the methods which will ensure correct interactions… Raynal (Univ. of Rennes, France) presents these classical techniques at the beginning of his book, and then moves on to cover such topics as transactional memory and current areas of research like consensus in the face of crash failures. The coverage is very up-to-date, including references through 2010. … This would be an ideal text for a beginning graduate course. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), August, 2013)

“A very comprehensive treatment of both fundamentals and recent results in concurrent programming is presented in this book. … The book is well structured, with many examples to help the reader. Each chapter starts with a short presentation of the content and a list of keywords, and concludes with a summary of the main points and results. … I can recommend this book … .” (Sergei Gorlatch, Computing Reviews, June, 2013)

Prof. Michel Raynal is among the top researchers in the world on the topic of distributed algorithms. He is a full professor at the Université de Rennes where he founded the Distributed Algorithms research group in 1984. He has been the principal investigator in numerous related research national and international projects, and he has been invited by more than 25 universities around the world to give lectures on distributed algorithms and distributed computing. He has over 300 academic publications on this topic, and has authored a number of books on related topics. His current research interests include distributed algorithms, distributed computing systems, distributed computability and dependability; and the fundamental principles that underlie the design and the construction of distributed computing systems.
