In computer science the two terms are generally distinguished, while you're free to redefine them commonly when people say concurrency they refer to a model of performing things at the same time but may not actually be simultaneous. Parallelism is generally the actual act of it running simultaneously.

Fair enough, I was unaware of the common distinction in the CS domain.
