How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4443704 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Communication and Concurrency is a foundational book in theoretical computer science that introduces process calculi, particularly the Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS), to model and reason about concurrent systems.
-
D.
java.util.concurrent
java.util.concurrent is a core Java SE package that provides high-level concurrency utilities such as thread pools, synchronization primitives, and concurrent data structures to simplify multithreaded programming.
-
E.
CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes)
CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) is a formal model for describing and analyzing concurrent systems based on independent processes that interact solely through message-passing communication.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Clojure core.async Description of subject: Clojure core.async is a Clojure library that provides asynchronous programming primitives like channels and go blocks to enable CSP-style concurrent and parallel programming.
