dc.description.abstract	The dining philosophers problem and the evolving philosophers problems are abstractions of resource sharing problems in parallel and distributed systems. A Linda solution to the dining problem has already been shown; this solution is not fair, and it couples the processes in the system together. The solution proposed here remedies some of the defects of this solution, and extends it to deal with the evolving problem. By comparing these solutions, and by comparing the proposed solution to the evolving problem with a solution to the problem in another language, the strengths of Linda are found, and areas for research identified.	en
