Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java

Concurrent and Distributed Computing in Java addresses fundamental concepts in concurrent computing with Java examples. The book consists of two parts. The first part deals with techniques for programming in shared-memory based systems. The book covers concepts in Java such as threads, synchronized methods, waits, and notify to expose students to basic concepts for multi-threaded programming. It also includes algorithms for mutual exclusion, consensus, atomic objects, and wait-free data structures. The second part of the book deals with programming in a message-passing system. This part covers resource allocation problems, logical clocks, global property detection, leader election, message ordering, agreement algorithms, checkpointing, and message logging. Primarily a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this thorough treatment will also be of interest to professional programmers.

Vijay K. Garg. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 297-304) And Index. Also Available In An Electronic Version. Mode Of Access: World Wide Web. This is almost verbatim copy of other book by the same author, but with pseudocode replaced by Java. Rather poor Java, nonprofessional and hard to read Java. Using Java instead pseudocode doesn't convert the original theoretical book into one that is easier for practitioners. There is nothing directly practical in this book. If you want to study distributed systems, don't buy this book. Buy other book by the same autor - this other book (Elements of Distributed Computing) is highly recommended Parallel and distributed computing systems are now widely available.
