Principles of Concurrent and Distributed Programming provides an introduction to concurrent programming focusing on general principles and not on specific systems.

Software today is inherently concurrent or distributed - from event-based GUI designs to operating and real-time systems to Internet applications. This edition is an introduction to concurrency and examines the growing importance of concurrency constructs embedded in programming languages and of formal methods such as model checking.
