Having just started my Masters I'm looking for references in the
area of synchronisation mechanisms. In particular, I'd be pleased if anyone
could point me in the right direction for references to the following:

        1. How to overcome the basic conflict between inheritance and
           synchronisation.
        2. Powerful synchronisation mechanisms. Semaphores and Monitors are
           a bit low level. I'm looking for something with similar/more
           expressive power than (Regular, Open, Predicate) Path Expressions.
        3. Efficient implementation of low level synchronisation primitives.

(You may be wondering what this has got to do with OO programming. Point (1)
above is the answer and hence my crossposting to comp.object).

Thanks in advance
Ciaran.

P.S. Please email me. I'll summerise if there's much interest.
