CPE2001

Concurrent programming techniques ( 6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSL)

Leader: P Le

Offered:
Peninsula First semester 2006 (Day)

Synopsis: This subject focuses on the theory and application of concurrent multi-threaded programming in modern applications development. Concurrent programming primitives: threads,semaphores,rendezvous, critical regions,shared variables. Concurrent programming concepts and designs: concurrency,synchronization, safety,liveness,control policies,layering of policies, flow designs, transaction-based and notification-based designs.Concurrent programming applications: GUI applications,distributed applications-network clients and servers interaction,serialization,remote procedure calls (e.g. Java RMI).
