Turing Award-winner Leslie Lamport shares the key lessons he has learned about concurrent and distributed computing over decades of writing and reasoning about their algorithms. Algorithms are not programs, and they shouldn't be written in a programming language. Instead, this book explores how to write them and reason about them by using mathematics. It explains the principles underlying abstract programs and understanding those principles helps to avoid concurrency errors. Designing an abstract program before writing any code can lead to better, more reliable programs. The book has very few mathematical prerequisites, with an appendix summarizing the necessary knowledge. Many of the examples are available online, written in the formal language TLA+, and can be checked with the TLA+ tools. This is a fascinating read for any graduate students and researchers in theoretical computer science, concurrency, and distributed systems.

Lamport, Leslie: - Leslie Lamport was Distinguished Scientist at Microsoft Research until his retirement. Dr. Lamport won the 2013 Turing award for 'fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems.' He is a member of the National Academies of Science and Engineering and the American Association of Arts and Sciences.
