Abstract: The group mutual exclusion problem arises in various
applications that require data sharing, and its aim is to achieve
exclusive access to shared data while facilitating suitable
concurrency.  In this talk, a simple algorithm that we have designed
recently to solve group mutual exclusion will be discussed. The
algorithms has several nice properties.
