Concurrent Programming
£39.99
GBPPaperback
This textbook is designed as a first book on concurrent programming for computer science undergraduates, and provides a comprehensive introduction to the problems of concurrency. Concurrency is of vital importance in many areas of computer science, particularly in operating systems. It is also increasingly being taught in undergraduate courses. The book builds on the student's familiarity with sequential programming in a high level language, which will make it very accessible to computer science students. The book is concerned mainly with the high level aspects of concurrency, which will be equally applicable to traditional time sliced or more recent truly parallel systems.
- A long awaited textbook
- Designed to be the first book on concurrency that all undergraduates will turn to for a comprehensive introduction to the subject
- Concurrent/parallel programming is the main buzz word in computing for the 1990s
- New series design
