Concurrent Programming: Algorithms, Principles, and Foundations

From the reviews:

“Concurrent programming is the study of the methods which will ensure correct interactions. … Raynal (Univ. of Rennes, France) presents these classical techniques at the beginning of his book, and then moves on to cover such topics as transactional memory and current areas of research like consensus in the face of crash failures. The coverage is very up-to-date, including references through 2010. … This would be an ideal text for a beginning graduate course. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), August, 2013)

“A very comprehensive treatment of both fundamentals and recent results in concurrent programming is presented in this book. … The book is well structured, with many examples to help the reader. Each chapter starts with a short presentation of the content and a list of keywords, and concludes with a summary of the main points and results. … I can recommend this book … .” (Sergei Gorlatch, Computing Reviews, June, 2013)
