have one copy of each of them which you can borrow
for short periods.

, Prentice Hall, 1990.
- This is the "classic" text in this area. It is fairly
rigorous (i.e., mathematical) and covers the fundamentals of
concurrent programming in a fair amount of detail. Also available in
the QEII library, Call no. QA 76.5 B393 1990.

serious look at applying UML to the kinds of problems that we look at in
this course.
