In this second edition, you will find thoroughly updated coverage of the Javao
2 platform and new or expanded coverage of:
- Memory model
- Cancellation
- Portable parallel programming
- Utility classes for concurrency control
The Java platform provides a broad and powerful set of APIs, tools, and technologies.
One of its most powerful capabilities is the built-in support for threads. This
makes concurrent programming an attractive yet challenging option for programmers
using the Java programming language.
This book shows readers how to use the Java platform's threading model more
precisely by helping them to understand the patterns and tradeoffs associated
with concurrent programming.
You will learn how to initiate, control, and coordinate concurrent activities
using the class java.lang.Thread, the keywords synchronized and volatile, and
the methods wait, notify, and notifyAll. In addition, you will find detailed
coverage of all aspects of concurrent programming, including such topics as
confinement and synchronization, deadlocks and conflicts, state-dependent action
control, asynchronous message passing and control flow, coordinated interaction,
and structuring web-based and computational services.
The book targets intermediate to advanced programmers interested in mastering
the complexities of concurrent programming. Taking a design pattern approach,
the book offers standard design techniques for creating and implementing components
that solve common concurrent programming challenges. The numerous code examples
throughout help clarify the subtleties of the concurrent programming concepts
discussed.

Excellent book for writing multithreaded applications
This is the excellent book which provides design strategies for multi threading applications in java. Some of these principles can be used in any language I feel.
