These plans had included the development of a "
concurrent computing system, which ensured that all client information was held in three places, so that if one set of data was lost, two other sets were still available.

I believe that the right ideas to explain
concurrent computing will only come from a dialectic between models from logic and mathematics and a proper distillation of a practical experience.
As Stanford, I got interested in trying to understand
concurrent computing and parallel computing programs.
Current development of concurrent object-oriented programming (COOP) is providing a solid software foundation for concurrent computing on multiprocessors.
In the context of concurrent computing, however, synchronous communication reduces the number of objects that may be potentially active at any given point in time.
