Introduction to Concurrency Using Occam

More about the book

The introduction of concurrency into system architecture is usually undertaken for performance improvement, fault tolerance, or extensibility. The parallel development of operating systems specific to concurrent systems continues, and this text examines occam for its elegance and simplicity. This text covers the use of concurrent processing in modeling data structures, the design of an operating system using occam, the application of concurrency to real-time systems, and the need for higher level communication primitives. The book is designed as a textbook, discussing concurrency in general, and using the occam programming language to illustrate the principles and problems involved
