Description:

This book is a collection of original papers written by the computer scientists who made the major breakthroughs in concurrent programming. It covers the pioneering era of the field, from the semaphores of the mid 1960s to the remote procedure calls of the late 1970s."The Origin of Concurrent Programming" presents 19 seminal papers by E. W. Dijkstra, P. Brinch Hansen, and C. A. R. Hoare.While focusing on contributions of major and lasting importance, the book: * Features an essay that summarizes the papers and puts them in historical perspective. * Builds on fundamental programming concepts, such as speed independence, fair scheduling, mutual exclusion, deadlock prevention, and process…
