  Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a lock is a synchronization mechanism for enforcing limits on access to a resource in an environment where there are many threads of execution.
Locks are one way of enforcing concurrency control policies.
Most locking designs block the execution of the process requesting the lock until it is allowed to access the locked resource.

Lock (water transport), an enclosure in a canal or a river used to raise or lower the water level for ships and boats passing through.
Lock (computer science), a bookkeeping object associated with a piece of data that is used to serialize concurrent access.
Lock (telemetry), when the output data and clock signals match those of an input signal transmitted and sent through a bit synchronizer, a device that establishes a series of clock pulses which are synchronous to the incoming signal.

In software engineering, a lock is a mechanism for enforcing limits on access to a resource in an environment where there are many threads of execution.
Careless use of locks can result in deadlock, where multiple processes are unable to proceed.
One strategy is to avoid locks entirely by using lock-free (non-blocking) programming techniques.

Software is the instructions that direct computers to perform useful work, and can be found in every aspect of modern life from life-critical applications like medical-monitoring devices and nuclear power plants to entertainment devices like video-games.
Software engineering was popularized by the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference held in Garmisch, Germany and has been in widespread use since.
Software Engineering is considered by many to be an engineering discipline because there are pragmatic approaches and expected characteristics of engineers.

 Lock-free and wait-free algorithms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The traditional approach to multi-threaded programming is to use locks to synchronize access to shared resources.
If one thread attempts to acquire a lock that is already held by another thread, the thread will block until the lock is free.
Using locks also involves a trade-off between coarse-grained locking which can significantly reduce opportunities for parallelism, and fine-grained locking which requires more careful design and is more prone to bugs.

 Software Engineering and UCITA
The Software Engineering Institute, which was formed by the U.S. Department of Defense to further the state of software practice, and which is highly influential in the field, opposes UCITA.[
To the extent that UCITA is applied to embedded software, or to software that under normal engineering practice would be embedded, it limits the manufacturers’ liability.

I’ve always believed the the patents vs secrecy argument, but his argument that software patents should not be considered any different to other patents is interesting and quite persuasive.
The premise is basically that the best software companies expend a lot of their effort insulating their developers from the broader software development process so they can focus on developing software.
I worked in the past at a company which I’d describe as engineering driven, and am currently working with one which I greatly fear is going to turn out to be very much as Joel describes a sales driven company.

 Software Engineering
Current software engineering methods and practice have had only limited success in managing the intellectual complexity of designing and implementing software.
Moreover, in the design of software systems, security concerns are typically an afterthought (addressed through add-ons and software patches) rather than being an integral part of the overall design.
Although the concepts and practices associated with system survivability are embryonic, they include (but are not limited to) traditional areas of software engineering and computer science such as reliability, testing, dependability, fault tolerance, verification of correctness, performance, and information system security.

The time to compute the lock and the length of the lock (size of transmission) are both proportional to the number n of destinations.
The main difference is in the goals: 3] concentrated on secure broadcasting which entails encrypting a message under a one time key and then encrypting the key individually for each group member.
Using this secure lock, only one copy of the ciphertext is sent, and the number of secret keys held by each user is minimized (1 for public key based, and O(n 2) for private key based approaches) The weakness of this scheme is its need to associate one large....
