Abstract

Inter Process synchronization is the coordination of simultaneous threads or processes to complete a task in order to get correct runtime order and avoid unexpected race conditions. Since processes frequently need to communicate with other processes therefore, there is a need for a well-structured communication among processes, without using interrupts [1]. This paper is an attempt to present the design and implementation of an agent based technique to provide optimized solution of Inter Process Synchronization problem, keeping the problem of critical section in to consideration.
