Abstract
Concurrency, as a basic primitive for software construction, is more relevant today than ever before, primarily due to the multi-core revolution. General-purpose software applications must find ways to exploit concurrency explicitly in order to take advantage of multiple cores. However, experience has shown that explicitly parallel programs are difficult to get right. To deliver compelling software products in the multi-core era, we must improve our ability to reason about concurrency.
