One algorithm was chosen and adopted for implementation in a simulator for investigation. A strategy for improving the performance of this algorithm and preventing deadlock was proposed in this research. A measure of the improvement in performance was also presented. }, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
