This book presents a remarkable survey of a vast field of concrete and highly complex research on algorithms for parallel or distributed control. Since parallelism makes it difficult to understand the behavior or to analyze the properties of algorithms that can solve these problems, all of the algorithms have been rewritten in a single language and restructured so that they are easy to understand and compare. The book systematically stresses the principles guiding their design, provides arguments to prove their validity and gives quantitative data allowing their assessment.
Contents: Preface. The Nature of Control Problems in Parallel Processing. The Mutual Exclusion Problem in a Centralized Framework: Software Solutions. The Mutual Exclusion Problem in a Centralized Framework: Hardware Solutions. The Mutual Exclusion Problem in a Distributed Framework: Solutions Based on State Variables. The Mutual Exclusion Problem in a Distributed Framework: Solutions Based on Message Communication. Two Further Control Problems.
M. Raynal is a professor, Department Informatique, IRISA-Universite de Rennes 1, France. Algorithms for Mutual Exclusion is included in the Scientific Computation Series, edited by Dennis Gannon.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
