Abstract
The main task of this chapter is to show how minor resources are handled in DEMOS. Resource synchronisations are classified into one or other of two types: mutual exclusion and producer/consumer. In mutual exclusion synchronisations, items from a pool of resources are requested and released by the same entity. In producer/consumer synchronisations, producer entities make resources available to consumer entities (in the manner of relay runners handing on a baton).
