There where some discussions about this subject with various ideas on 
how to approach this matter.
Personally, I like the CSP implementation available at 
http://assertfalse.com/projects.shtml, it is a good start and could 
offer a potential solution.
CSP is a relatively old concept with a strong mathematical basis 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_processes).

Nevertheless the debate around concurrency and parallelism will continue 
as obviously no single solution has the potential to cover all the 
issues at hand.
