The transition from sequential to parallel computation is an area of critical concern in today's computer technology, particularly in architecture, programming languages, systems, and artificial intelligence. This book addresses central issues in concurrency, and by producing both a syntactic definition and a denotational model of Hewitt's actor paradigm -- a model of computati...(展开全部)

The book focuses on algorithmic principles rather than language syntax with an emphasis on the use of the Spin model checker for modeling concurrent systems and verifying program correctness and includes and explains the implementation of concurrency in the Java and Ada languages. It also helps to facilitate lab work with software tools for learning concurrent and distributed p...(展开全部)
