%X The Santa Claus problem provides an excellent exercise in
concurrent
programming. It can be used to show the
simplicity or complexity of
solving problems using a
particular set of concurrency mechanisms and
offers a
comparison of these mechanisms. Shared\-memory
constructs,
message passing constructs, and process oriented
constructs will
be used in various programming languages to
solve the Santa Claus
Problem. Various concurrency
mechanisms available will be examined
and analyzed as to
their respective strengths and weaknesses.
