Architectures, Languages and Techniques for Concurrent Systems
Author: World Occam and Transputer User Group. Technical Meeting
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 9789051994803
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
During the past fifteen years concurrency in programming languages such as Java rose and fell, and again became popular. At this moment developers advise us to avoid concurrency in programming. They are using a host of deprecated methods in the latest releases How are we to understand the love-hate relationship with what should be a widely used approach of tackling real-world problems? The aim of rchitectures, Languages and Techniques is to encourage the safe, efficient and effective use of parallel computing. It is generally agreed that concurrency is found in most real applications and that it should be natural to use concurrency in programming. However, there has grown up a myth that concurrency is "hard" and only for the hardened expert. The papers collected in this book cover the whole spectrum of concurrency, from theoretical underpinnings to applications. The message passing style of concurrency, developed in the Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) approach, is considered, and extensions are proposed. CSP's realization in the programming language occam is used directly for applications as diverse as modeling of concurrent systems and the description of concurrent hardware. This latter application may be compared to the use of Java for the same purpose. Concurrency and the use of Java is the subject of further papers, as is the provision of CSP-like facilities in Java and C and techniques to use these languages to construct reliable concurrent systems. At a time when concurrency gives headaches, this book brings a welcome breath of fresh air. Concurrency can really be a positive way forward.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Concurrency is an integral part of everyday life. The concept is so ingrained in our existence that we benefit from it without realizing. When faced with a taxing problem, we automatically involve others to solve it more easily. Such concurrent solutions to a complex problem may, however, not be quite straightforward and communication becomes crucial to ensure the successful solution of the problem.

ISBN: 9781586030773
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Modern computing systems are built in terms of components and those components communicating. Communication systems imply concurrency, which is a theme of the WoTUG series. Traditionally concurrency has been taught, considered and experienced as an advanced and difficult topic. The thesis underlying this conference is that that idea is wrong. The natural world operates through continuous interaction of massive numbers of autonomous agents at all levels (sub-atomic, human, astronomic). It seems it is time to mature concurrency into a core engineering discipline that can be used on an everyday basis to simplify problem solutions, as well as to enable them. The goal of Communicating Process Architectures 2000 was to stimulate discussion and ideas as to the role concurrency should play in future generations of scalable computer infrastructure and applications - where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexitiy increases) as well as physical metrics (such as performance).

Pages : 248
Book Description
The 21st century will be the age of network computing. Among the many key technologies in this field, parallel computing and networking technology will play very important roles. In this book emphasis is placed on networking and modeling parallel computing. The topics cover parallel computing algorithms, parallel software, massively parallel computing systems and related applications. Articles cover parallel computing, networking and related applications, to initiate discussions. Since the appearance of Transputer chip T9000, C104, and standardizations of IEEE1355, Transputer systems seem to have opened a new interesting area of parallel computing, networking and many practical applications.

Communicating Process Architectures 2004
Author: Ian East
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 9781586034580
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Communicating Process Architecture (CPA) describes an approach to system development that is process-oriented. It makes no great distinction between hardware and software. It has a major root in the theory of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). However, the underlying theory is not limited to CSP. The importance of mobility of both channel and process within a network sees integration with ideas from the ð-calculus. Other formalisms are also exploited, such as BSP and MPI. The focus is on sound methods for the engineering of significant concurrent systems, including those that are distributed (across the Internet or within a single chip) and/or software-scheduled on a single execution unit. Traditionally, at CPA, the emphasis has been on theory and practice - developing and applying tools based upon CSP and related theories to build high-integrity systems of significant size. In particular, interest focuses on achieving scalability and security against error. The development of Java, C, and C++, libraries to facilitate secure concurrent programming using 'mainstream' languages has allowed CPA to continue and proliferate. This work continues in support of the engineering of distributed applications. Recently, there has been greater reference to theory and its more direct application to programming systems and languages. In this volume the formal CSP is very well presented. The papers provide a healthy mixture of the academic and commercial, software and hardware, application and infrastructure, which reflects the nature of the discipline.

Genetic Programming III
Author: John R. Koza
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann
ISBN: 9781558605435
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1516
Book Description
Genetic programming (GP) is a method for getting a computer to solve a problem by telling it what needs to be done instead of how to do it. Koza, Bennett, Andre, and Keane present genetically evolved solutions to dozens of problems of design, control, classification, system identification, and computational molecular biology. Among the solutions are 14 results competitive with human-produced results, including 10 rediscoveries of previously patented inventions.
