Abstract
After having introduced the notion of a concurrent object, this chapter presents lock-based methodologies to implement such objects. The first one is based on a low-level synchronization object called a semaphore. The other ones are based on linguistic constructs. One of these constructs is based on an imperative approach (monitor construct), while the other one is based on a declarative approach (path expression construct). This chapter closes the first part of the book devoted to lock-based synchronization.
