Hi, does anyone out there know how to find the solutions (stavation-free)
to the classic Dining Philosophers problem (distributed/centralized) ?
what about the solutions to river-crossing (readers/writers) problem ?

Furthermore, the comparizon (analytical / simulation) between different
solutions to the problem ?  Has anybody done that before ?

I'd very much appreciate your answer. Please reply to

Thanks you very much in advance.
