3. 3 Background Concurrent processes (or threads) often need to share data (maintained either in shared memory or files) and resources
If there is no controlled access to shared data, some processes will obtain an inconsistent view of this data
The action performed by concurrent processes will then depend on the order in which their execution is interleaved
Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes.
