Final Cover Copy – Ben-Ari
Principles of Concurrent and
Distributed Programming
2nd Edition
M. Ben-Ari
The latest edition of a classic text from a winner of the ACM/SIGCSE
Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education.
Software today is inherently concurrent or distributed – from event-based GUI designs to operating and real-time systems to Internet applications. The new edition of this classic introduction to concurrency has been completely revised in view of the growing importance of concurrency
constructs embedded in programming languages and of formal methods
such as model checking that are widely used in industry.
The 2nd edition:
Ø Focuses on algorithmic principles rather than language syntax;
Ø Emphasizes the use of the Spin model checker for modeling concurrent systems and verifying program correctness;
Ø Explains the implementation of concurrency in the Java and Ada languages.
Ø Facilitates lab work with software tools for learning concurrent and distributed programming.
Check out the companion website for the book at www.pearson.co.uk/ben-ari to find additional resources for both students and instructors, including source code in various languages for the programs in the book, answers to the exercises, and slides for all diagrams, algorithms and programs.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…

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.
