The work presented here investigates the combination of Kleene algebra with the synchrony model of concurrency from Milner's SCCS calculus. The resulting algebraic structure ...
Transactional memory is being advanced as an alternative to traditional lock-based synchronization for concurrent programming. Transactional memory simplifies the programming mode...

Abstract. This paper presents a feature constraint system that, compared with the well-known systems OSF 1] and CFT 5], incorporates several interesting characteristics. The new sy...
Multithreaded programs often suffer from synchronization bugs such as atomicity violations and deadlocks. These bugs arise from complicated locking strategies and ad hoc synchroni...
