This textbook provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles of concurrent programming, focusing on both theoretical foundations and practical implementation techniques. Its content ranges from basic concepts such as thread creation and process management to more advanced topics such as inter-process communication, synchronization mechanisms, and memory management. It includes discussions on monitors, MPI, RMI, rendezvous, and rate monotonic analysis, providing both foundational knowledge and practical solutions.
The book is divided into four chapters, each building on fundamental aspects of concurrent and parallel programming. Chapter 1 introduces concurrent programming by explaining key concepts such as processes as independent execution units that perform tasks concurrently, concurrency models using techniques like mutual exclusion and synchronization primitives, and process creation through methods like fork/join and POSIX threads. Next, chapter 2 explores key process synchronization mechanisms in concurrent programming, focusing on both mutual exclusion problems and the use of monitors as a high-level solution for managing shared resources. Chapter 3 then focuses on message passing systems as a fundamental approach for communication and synchronization in distributed systems, where processes cannot share memory, and provides models like CSP and technologies like RMI to facilitate structured, reliable communication between processes. Eventually, chapter 4 dives into the scheduling mechanisms of real-time systems, focusing on how tasks are prioritized and scheduled to meet strict timing constraints with algorithms to address priority inversion while considering sporadic and aperiodic tasks.
This book is designed to be used as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in concurrent programming, operating systems, and distributed systems. Its well-structured layout, comprehensive case studies, numerous exercises, and illustrating real-world examples make it an ideal teaching resource.

About the Author
Professor Manuel I. Capel leads the Concurrent Systems Research Group in the Computer Languages and Systems Department at the University of Granada, Spain. His research work includes the study of formal methods (temporal logics and process algebras) applied to the systematic development of real-time embedded systems. Results in this field include a formal specification method for real-time systems through UML-RT model transformation, an on-the-fly model checking algorithm for future interval logic formulas and, more recently, a compositional formal verification method for the critical analysis of systems (MEDISTAM-RT). He published more than 80 papers in journals, books, and conferences; serves as a member of the Editorial Board of the “Journal of Network and Computer Applications” and as Chief Editor of "Annals of Multicore and GPU Programming". He is also a member of the ICSE 2025 research track committee.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
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.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
