Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java

An in–depth introduction to concurrent and distributed computing with Java
Combining the two key types of Java programming, Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java offers both professionals and students a comprehensive guide to fundamental concepts necessary for mastering Java programming.
The text is presented in two parts. The first deals with techniques for programming in shared–memory based systems and covers concepts in Java such as:ThreadsSynchronized methodsWaits and notifyMulti–threaded programmingAlgorithms for mutual exclusion, consensus, atomic objects, and wait–free data structures
The second half of the text deals with programming in a message–passing system, and covers:Resource allocation problemsLogical clocksGlobal property detectionLeader electionMessage orderingAgreement algorithmsCheckpointingMessage logging
Avoiding excessive mathematical notation while explaining important concepts with both rigor and clarity, this up–to–date text will prove a valuable resource for interested professionals and students alike.
