	Concurrency (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, concurrency is a property of systems which consist of computations that execute overlapped in time, and which may permit the sharing of common resources between those overlapped computations.
		Concurrent programming is usually considered to be more general than parallel programming because it can involve arbitrary and dynamic patterns of communication and interaction, whereas parallel systems generally have a predefined and well-structured communications pattern.
		Some concurrent systems implement a form of transparent concurrency, in which concurrent computational entities may compete for and share a single resource, but the complexities of this competition and sharing are shielded from the programmer.

	Using TRIZ in Computer Science - Concurrency
		Concurrent programming is the activity of constructing a program containing multiple processes that execute in parallel.
		Universities spend much time developing formal techniques based on solid mathematical foundations in the Computer Science field; yet without a systematic way of applying formal techniques to real practice (in a way that it is understandable to the average hacker, oops I mean programmer), we cannot maximize the quality of our software systems.
		Since computer science has been around for a very short period, it is a baby compared to physics and mechanical engineering.

	Isolation (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is because to maintain the highest level of isolation a DBMS must acquire locks on data, which may result in a loss of concurrency, or else implement multiversion concurrency control, which may require additional application logic to function correctly.
		When using non-lock concurrency control, no lock is acquired; however, if the system detects a concurrent transaction in progress which would violate the serializability illusion, it must force that transaction to rollback, and the application will have to restart the transaction.
		Under multiversion concurrency control, non-repeatable reads may occur when the requirement that a transaction affected by a commit conflict must rollback is relaxed.

	Computer Science Colloquium - October 23
		"True concurrency" has traditionally been distinguished from interleaving semantics in terms of partial vs. linear ordering of events.
		A distinction proposed by the speaker at POPL'91 instead represents concurrency by interpreting n concurrent atomic events as an n-dimensional cubical cell, leading to a notion of higher dimensional automaton.
		Although most of the subsequent development of this approach has taken homological algebra as its framework, there is a conceptually simpler formalization: extend the two-state Nielsen-Plotkin-Winskel event structure model with a third state, transition, to arrive at an extensional notion of concurrency.
