Java 1.5 for Heavy Lifting: Recent and Ongoing JSRs 

Recent and ongoing Java Specification Requests (JSRs) from the Java
Community Process are turning Java into a language well-suited for
middleware and infrastructure development.  This talk will primarily
focus on JSR166, which will add a set of concurrency features to the
next release of Java.  This includes nonblocking synchronization
primitives, more flexible locks and condition variables, thread pools,
futures, high-performance concurrent queues and related data structures
and utilities.  The talk will also briefly describe related JSRs that
revise the Java memory model, introduce process-like abstractions
("Isolates"), and support high-performance I/O.
