Book abbreviations correspond to titles on the picture from this link:

Cooperative Multireading Revisited and Started

POSA2: Inherent and accidental complexities. Tactical and Strategic aspects of concurrent software (low level OS mechanism vs. threading model).

POSA5: design metaheuristic: tractable forward model (essence of agile methods).

AMP: Shared counter and mutual exclusion.

EIP: Loose coupling: send and forget.

MM: Every Java program is automatically concurrent. Class extension vs. interface implementation. No preemption guarantee in Java threading. Sleep statements are useful for testing.

SC: Fun as a motivator for building software.

ASS: Stress in support is due to chaos.

SM: Software maintenance: modification after delivery.

CC: Code construction as a distinct activity that is guaranteed to be done.

RP: Technology projections for patterns.

MES: 802.11i is a security enhanced version of 802.11(a|b|g).

OOM: The influence of WIMP on OO languages.

TIS: Isolation hides other transactions and concurrency and requires concurrency control techniques.

NAT: Troubleshooting from bottom to top.

PT: Timeless structures for a mathematician vs. structure dynamics for a computer scientist.

CW: Stages of a crimeware attack: distribution, infection, execution, data retrieval, data misappropriation.

PNA: Logical vs. physical address spaces in networking (like in OS). Paradigm of connectionless.

CA: Pipelining, pipe segment, throughput, processor cycle.

GC: User program as mutator of the graph connectivity for heap structures.

CS: Static (scope of variables) and dynamic links (call scope) for procedure activation records.
