Concurrent Thought
As a concept, Concurrent Thought explores the intersection of classic distributed programming techniques with modern problems like streaming (“fast”) data and the engineering required for successful machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Concurrent Thought is the name of Dean Wampler’s consulting company, which is now inactive. Dean has been cited as one of the most influential people in the Big Data ecosystem. Dean’s views on these technologies have been discussed at many conferences. His talks are available here.
