Tutorial: Concurrency with Alice 3 and Java
Pages 78 - 79
Abstract
In this special session, attendees will learn about techniques for teaching concepts of concurrency with Alice 3's latest release of a Java IDE plugin. The new plugin makes use of Java 8's lambda expression to provide a Do together control structure with simpler syntax. Using this technique and Java 8 plugin, students in early-level programming courses can make use of Alice's Do together control structure to create concurrent threads in their Java code.

Clojure for Number Crunching on Multicore Machines
Clojure is a Lisp language designed to run on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and interoperate automatically with all Java libraries. However, compared to Java, Clojure has a concurrency API that encourages programmers to take advantage of multicore ...
