Concept
Livelock is a situation in concurrent computing where two or more processes continuously change their state in response to each other without making any progress. Unlike deadlock, where processes are stuck waiting indefinitely, livelock processes are active but unable to complete their tasks due to constant state changes.
Concept
Obstruction-free refers to a property in concurrent computing where a system guarantees progress for some operation, but not necessarily for all, under contention. It ensures that at least one thread can complete its operation in a finite number of steps, even if others are delayed or interrupted.
