Concurrency with Erlang
   To avoid problems with shared state working with multiple threads, Vinoski recommends a programming language like Erlang rather than C++ or Java.

Generic Synchronization Policies in C++
   Most uses of synchronization code in multi-threaded applications fall into a small number of high-level “usage patterns”, or what can be called generic synchronization policies (GSPs). This paper illustrates how the use of such GSPs simplify the writi

It's (Not) All Been Done
   Every decade or so there is a major revolution in the way software is developed. But, unlike the object and web revolutions, the concurrency revolution can be seen coming.

Lock-free Interprocess Communication
   Interprocess communication is an essential component of modern software engineering. Often, lock-free IPC is accomplished via special processor commands. This article propose a communication type that requires only atomic writing of processor word from pr

The Free Lunch Is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software
   The biggest sea change in software development since the OO revolution is knocking at the door, and its name is Concurrency.
   http://www.gotw.ca/publications/concurrency-ddj.htm

The Pillars of Concurrency
   This article makes the case that a consistent mental model is needed to talk about concurrency.
   http://www.ddj.com/dept/cpp/200001985

The Problem with Threads
   Argues that for concurrent programming to become mainstream, threads must be discarded as a programming model. Nondeterminism should be judiciously and carefully introduced where needed, and it should be explicit in programs.
