Abstract
A membership interface provides procedure headings to add and remove elements of a data collection, without specifying the organizational structure of the data collection. A membership implementation associated with the membership interface provides thread-safe operations to implement the interface procedures. A blocking-bounding wrapper on the membership implementation provides blocking and bounding support separately from the thread-safety mechanism.
