SWE 619 Quiz Guide 8
Fall 2011
Synchronization is the focus of quiz 8.
You should be able to explain,
in the context of a concrete example,
how access to mutable data is a problem
in the absence of synchronization.
You should also understand very basic issues
with wait(), notify(), and notifyAll(),
at least in the context of the examples
given in class.
You should also have read carefully Bloch's concurrency chapter
(Items 66-73).
