dealing with multiple things happening at the same time in a piece of software
[Bill Clementson] on Concurrent/Parallel programming (Parallel Processing), esp the use of Domain Specific Language-s. A non-GooGle version of Map Reduce has already been implemented for Nutch (an open-source web Search Engine library), so that is one way some experimenting could be done. However, it's not necessary to look at a direct port of Map Reduce in order to play around with the ideas underlying it. Conceptually, the approach is similar (at least in some respects) to "[Blackboard System]-s".
Concurrent computing is related to parallel computing (Parallel Processing), but focuses more on the interactions between tasks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_programming_language
In some concurrent computing systems communication between the concurrent components is hidden from the programmer (e.g., by using futures), while in others it must be handled explicitly. Explicit communication can be divided into two classes: (see this on "futures")
