concurrent systems

Concurrent systems refer to situations where multiple processes or actions occur simultaneously or progress at the same time. This concept is commonly encountered in computing, where a computer runs various programs or tasks simultaneously. In the broader context, concurrent systems can apply to any scenario involving multiple entities working together or independently, such as traffic systems where cars move at the same time, or teams collaborating on a project. The key aspect is managing interactions and ensuring that these processes or entities function effectively without interference, leading to improved efficiency and productivity.
