Executor

ExecutorService allows you to run asynchron tasks without having to deal with threads directly. 
 
/**
 * Creating a thread is an expensive operation ...
 * and it should be minimized. 
 * 
 * Having worker threads minimizes the overhead ...
 * because executor service has to create the thread pool only once.
 * 
 * In a fixed thread-pool, the executor service makes sure ...
 * that the pool always has the specified number of threads running.

Scheduled

ScheduledExecutorService can run a task perioadically (and after an initial delay).
