	Concurrent Degree Programs - UWLS Students
		A program leading to a Juris Doctor degree and an advanced degree in any discipline of the Graduate School at the University of Washington can be developed with the approval of the Dean of the Law School, the Dean of the Graduate School, and the student's Graduate Program Adviser.
		Candidates who are acccepted to concurrent programs might prefer to begin the master's program first, which would allow them to go straight through the JD program in 3 years, thus graduating with the same JD class they began with.
		Concurrent enrollment in the Evans School of Public Affairs, leading to a Master of Public Administration, is ideal for students interested in administrative or legislative practice.

	1. INTRODUCTION
		Concurrent programming is becoming increasingly important in both scientific and commercial areas.
		The main focus is in the understanding of the semantics of a concurrent program, especially where communication between tasks occurs.
		Due to the way concurrency is presently understood, as a consequence of the implementation's complexity, one often loses track of the original abstractions as they are expressed in programs.

	Enterprise Java Community: Testing Concurrent Programs
		Failures in sequential programs are deterministic; if a sequential program fails with a given set of inputs and initial state, it will fail every time.
		Similarly, by encapsulating concurrent interactions in a few places, such as workflow managers, resource pools, work queues, and other concurrent objects, it becomes simpler to analyze and test concurrent programs.
		These mechanisms contain sufficient synchronization to protect the integrity of their internal data structures, but the objects being passed in and out belong to the application, not the work queue, and the application is responsible for the thread-safety of these objects.

	On Concurrent Programming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But 30 years ago, concurrent programs would be found only in the bowels of operating systems, and these were built by specialists.
		A concurrent program consists of a collection of sequential processes whose execution is interleaved; the interleaving is the result of choices made by a scheduler and is not under programmer control.
		Identify a relation between the program variables that is true initially and is left true by each action of the program.

	CS160 - Concurrent Programming and Parallel Systems
		Knowing how to write concurrent programs is increasingly important, whether these programs are stand-alone programs for a single machine system or used in distributed computing systems.
		Concurrent programs may be written to the POSIX interface standard or Java supports concurrent programs.
		The goal here is to learn to write programs that operate concurrently, first learning how to create concurrent activies, to synchronize them, and to put the pieces together into larger programs effectively so that components of the program operate concurrently.

	Concurrent computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This style of concurrent programming usually requires the application of some form of locking (e.g., mutexes (means mutual exclusion), semaphores, or monitors) to coordinate between threads.
		Concurrent programming allows the time that would be spent waiting to be used for another task.
		Concurrent programming languages are programming languages that use language constructs for concurrency.

	Concurrent Degree Programs
		Qualified and highly-motivated students may be concurrently enrolled in the professional curriculum leading to the D.V.M. degree and in a graduate program leading to the M.S. or Ph.D. degree at any time after completion of at least 128 semester credits in pre-veterinary and professional curricula.
		Students enrolled in the concurrent program may elect to use courses from their graduate Program of Study, where applicable, to meet the requirements in effect for the professional curriculum, provided approval is obtained from the Curriculum Committee and the Administration of the College of Veterinary Medicine.
		In order for a graduate course to be acceptable as a substitute for a designated professional course in the Veterinary Curriculum, it shall be reviewed by the CVM Curriculum Committee for breadth necessary for the professional curriculum and by the College of Graduate Studies Committee for depth and rigor appropriate for graduate education.

	Compositional Proofs of Concurrent Programs
		The Isabelle mechanization regards a program as a triple: the set of program states, the set of allowed initial states, and the set of commands.
		A command (or action) is a relation on the set of program states.
		Similarly, program properties (or specifications) are identified with sets of programs, by analogy with the 'proofs as programs' approach.

	What is Concurrent Programming?
		Even the GUI programming in the previous section avoided concurrent execution by terminating the controller as soon as it finished setting up the model and view.
		When a multi-threaded program executes, the operations in its various threads are interleaved in an unpredictable order subject to the constraints imposed by explicit synchronization operations that may be embedded in the code.
		In general, writing concurrent programs is extremely difficult because the multiplicity of possible interleavings of operations among threads means that program execution is non-deterministic.

		A retrieval operation will return the value inserted by the most recent completed insert operation, and may also return a value added by an insertion operation that is concurrently in progress (but in no case will it return a nonsense result).
		However, several factors make them unsuitable for use in highly concurrent applications -- their single collection-wide lock is an impediment to scalability and it often becomes necessary to lock a collection for a considerable time during iteration to prevent

	Java Community News - Testing Concurrent Programs
		The failure modes of concurrent programs are less predictable and repeatable than for sequential programs...
		Goetz suggests that the first step toward testing the behavior of concurrent programs is to isolate concurrency to well-defined portions of the code, such as into workflow managers, resource pools, or work queues.
		Effectively immutable objects are those [that] are not necessarily immutable by design—they may have mutable state—but [that] the program treats as if they were immutable after they are published where they might be accessed by other threads.
