Not releasing a resource is not necessarily a deliberate act; in fact, in most cases it is only a mistake by omission.
Line 7:
==Controlling access==
 
The actomission of refusing to releasereleasing a resource when a processprogram has finished using it is known as a [[resource leak]], and is an issue in sequential computing. Multiple processes wish to access a limited resource can be an issue in [[concurrent computing]], and is known as [[resource contention]].
 
Resource management seeks to control access in order to prevent both of these situations.
