A Discipline of Multiprogramming: Programming Theory for Distributed Applications (Monographs in Computer Science) - Softcover

Críticas

From the reviews:

"Jayadev Misras ‘Discipline of Multiprogramming – Programming Theory for Distributed Applications’ wants to contribute theories and design principles to enhance productivity in specification, abstraction and modularization. ... Most chapters have a large number of examples, contain bibliographic notes and a lot of exercises with solutions. The book concludes with an appendix about elementary logic and algebra, a reference list and an index." (Christoph Meinel, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 999, 2002)

Reseña del editor

In this book, a programming model is developed that addresses the fundamental issues of 'large-scale programming'. The approach unifies several concepts from database theory, object-oriented programming and designs of reactive systems. The model and the associated theory has been christened "Seuss." The major goal of Seuss is to simplify multiprogramming. To this end, the concern of concurrent implementation is separated from the core program design problem. A program execution is understood as a single thread of control - sequential executions of actions that are chosen according to some scheduling policy. As a consequence, it is possible to reason about the properties of a program from its single execution thread.
