ExecutorServices provide methods arranging asynchronous execution of |

any function expressed as {@link java.util.concurrent.Callable}, the |

result-bearing analog of {@link java.lang.Runnable}. A {@link |

java.util.concurrent.Future} returns the results of a function, allows |

determination of whether execution has completed, and provides a means to |
