Designing application and middleware software to run inconcurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge tosoftware developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volumeof Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) form the basis ofa pattern language that addresses issues associated withconcurrency and networking. The book presents 17 interrelatedpatterns ranging from idioms through architectural designs. Theycover core elements of building concurrent and network systems:service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization,and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and knownuses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, and Java.The book can be used to tackle specific software developmentproblems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamentalunderstanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent andnetworked applications and middleware.

Quantum computing promises to solve problems which are intractable on digital computers. Highly parallel quantum algorithms can decrease the computational time for some problems by many orders of magnitude. This important book explains how quantum computers can do these amazing things. Several algorithms are illustrated: the discrete Fourier transform, Shor's algorithm for prime factorization; algorithms for quantum logic gates; physical implementations of quantum logic gates in ion traps and in spin chains; the simplest schemes for quantum error correction; correction of errors caused by imperfect resonant pulses; correction of errors caused by the nonresonant actions of a pulse; and numerical simulations of dynamical behavior of the quantum Control-Not gate. An overview of some basic elements of computer science is presented, including the Turing machine, Boolean algebra, and logic gates. The required quantum ideas are explained.
