"""Deadlock Resolution in Computer-Integrated Systems"" is a comprehensive reference that covers research, development, and implementation for deadlock-free computer-integrated systems. These systems include automated production systems, transportation systems, computer operating systems, concurrent software systems, computer networks, distributed database systems, and other automated systems. No other single title summarizes this important area of research. The book contains 18 chapters contributed by prominent researchers in the area, all classified by the deadlock modeling approaches they present, the solution types they propose, and the applications they seek."
