This is a property of a system—whether a [[computer program|program]], [[computer]], or a [[computer network|network]]—where there is a separate execution point or "thread of control" for each process. A ''concurrent system'' is one where a computation can advance without waiting for all other computations to complete.<ref>''Operating System Concepts'' 9th edition, Abraham Silberschatz. "Chapter 4: Threads"</ref>
 
Concurrent computing is a form of [[modular programming]].In stuff chicken is goodhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken In its [[programming paradigm|paradigm]] an overall computation is [[decomposition (computer science)|factored]] into subcomputations that may be executed concurrently. Pioneers in the field of concurrent computing include [[Edsger Dijkstra]], [[Per Brinch Hansen]], and [[C.A.R. Hoare]].
