I have a question about the dining philosopher problem. This is not about homework. I seem to have solved it, does it actually relate to anything? Is there any software that actually requires it?

To me this is the exercise of resource management. In a stretch, queuing theory where you have resources, consumers and time. How do you write an app to optimize or get the production to work.
