Concurrency is a topic which is hard to grasp since the effects of multi-threaded code can not be easily deduced by a single threaded human brain. These lecture notes are an introduction into concurrency programming in Java and summarize the main topics of our module DSG-PKS-B at the University of Bamberg with the exception of message passing concepts and frameworks. Understanding the concepts and functionality of different elements in the Java API helps to understand synchronous and asynchronous mechanisms discussed in our DSG master courses and all other computer science courses. This document includes all the necessary parts for a solid understanding of concurrency programming in Java.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
