ABSTRACT
SimAda is a concurrency simulator, reengineered from the simulator given in M. Ben-Ari, Principles of Concurrent Programming. The language was written in Ada 95 to enhance portability and to utilise the structuring constructs of a modern language. The concurrency constructs simulated include protected types which are new for Ada 95, as well as the Ada rendezvous. Several task scheduling models can be chosen for experimentation. SimAda is intended for teaching concurrency, both by running programs and by studying the implementation techniques.

Concurrency control for distributed cooperative engineering applications
SAC '02: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computingDistributed cooperative engineering applications require consistent and long-term sharing of large volumes of data, which may cause conflicts due to concurrent read/write operations. Therefore designing concurrency control for underlying middleware ...
