	CPSC 331 Sleeping Barber Solution
		Meanwhile, the barber cannot proceed past the "waiting for customers" stage until signalled by the customer, which occurs after the customer has sat in the barber chair.
		The barber cannot proceed past the "waiting for customers" stage again until the next customer is seated in the barber's chair.
		Each customer signals the barber when they've sat down, and using semaphores means that the order in which the customer signals and the barber waits doesn't matter.

	Sleeping barber problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, the sleeping barber problem is a classic inter-process communication and synchronization problem between multiple operating system processes.
		This problem involves only one barber, and it is therefore also called the single sleeping barber problem.
		A multiple sleeping barbers problem is similar in the nature of implementation and pitfalls, but has the additional complexity of coordinating several barbers among the waiting customers.

		This problem from the Spring 2001 midterm is similar to the classical "sleeping barber" problem, also known locally as "sleeping professor".
		Problem 2: Sellshort This problem was intended to be immediately recognizable to the initiated as a reader/writer lock with writer priority.
		Problem 3: Got Milk This is a direct bounded producer/consumer problem similar to BoundedBuffer in Lab 3.

	Sleeping Barber Applet - Fall 1997 CS 533 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When a customer arrives and finds the barber sleeping, the customer awakens the barber, sits in the barber's chair, and sleeps while the barber cuts his hair.
		If the barber is busy when a customer arrives, the customer goes to sleep in one of the other chairs.
		If there are waiting customers, the barber then awakens one and cuts it's haif, otherwise, the barber falls back to sleep until a new customer arrives.

		Sleeping Barber Problem: Many books, including our textbook, state variations of the Sleeping Barber Problem, which was first proposed by Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1968.
		The barber sleeps (or daydreams) when no customer customer is waiting (and is not in the barber's own chair).
		If at least one barber is sleeping, the customer looks at a sign, wakes up the barber who has been sleeping the longest, and sits in that barber's chair (after the barber has stood up).

	91.308 Assignment 7: Threads and the Sleeping Barber Problem
		When a customer is available, the barber wakes up and gives him a haircut, and the customer leaves.
		The Sleeping Barber problem is a classical IPC (inter process communication) problem that models waiting queues (e.g., a telephone service call center).
		The implementation is written in C and uses pthreads to implement the customer and barber processes.

		The second readers and writers problem requires that threads wishing to read must wait behind threads that are already waiting to write.
		The second is that the barber does not actually cut hair himself, but has a minion do it on his behalf.
		With this change, the sleeping barber resembles a device driver, the minion resembles the device, and the customers resemble I/O-requesting processes.

	Instructor Handout IV (Lab 4)
		A barbershop consists of a waiting room with n chairs, and a barber room with one barber chair.
		If the barber is busy, but chairs are available, then the customer sits in one of the free chairs.
		If the barber is asleep, the arrival of a customer wakes up the barber.

	The Sleeping Barber Problem
		There are three doors: from the street to the waiting room, from the waiting room to the chair, and from the barber chair to the street.
		The doors are assumed to be narrow and allow at most one person to pass at a time.
		If there is a customer, escort him to the chair; otherwise go to sleep in the barber chair.

	Semaphore (programming) Summary
		In the 1960s, the problem of mutual exclusion in computing environments, where processors had to be restricted in their access to shared resources, arose.
		Many semaphore implementations also have "thundering herd" problems and lose atomicity if there is a significant amount of contention between processes; the implementation can get overwhelmed with P requests and behave in incorrect ways, thus destroying the functionality expected of the semaphore design.
		Semaphores are the classic solution to the dining philosophers problem, although they do not prevent all deadlocks.

		Sleeping Barber Problem: The shop has a barber, a barber chair, and a waiting room with several chairs.
		When a barber finishes cutting a customer's hair, the barber fetches another customer from the waiting room if there is a customer, or stands by the barber chair and daydreams if the waiting room is empty.
		If the barber is busy but there is a waiting room chair available, the customer takes a seat.

	Solutions to Problem Set 2
		If additional customers arrive while the barber is cutting a customer's hair, they either sit down (if there are empty chairs) or leave the shop (if all chairs are full).
		When the barber is through with a customer, he looks to the waiting room to see if there are any more customers.
		If there are, the next customer is told that the barber is ready, so the customer then goes to the barber for a haircut.

		This extension to the Sleeping Barber problem from our text was inspired by a similar problem in "Operating Systems Internals and Design Principals: Third Ed." by William Stallings, (Prentice-Hall Inc., 1998).
		This problem is a knock-off of the "Cigarette-Smokers Problem" from "Operating Sytems Concepts, Fifth Ed." by Silberschatz and Galvin (Addison Wesley, 1998).

		Problem with this is that its not wise to give processes control over interrupts; you may not be able to predict exactly what will happen.
		This is a compiler command that does the Test and Set in one command, and avoids race condition by disabling all interrupts as its called.
		The one problem he mentions with this is what he calls the Priority Inversion problem.

		In particular we will carefully consider how semaphores can be used to solve the Producer-Consumer Problem and the Sleeping Barber Problem.
