The Ostrich Algorithm is a concept in computer science, particularly in the field of operating systems and concurrent programming. It refers to a strategy of ignoring certain problems or potential issues, under the assumption that they are either rare or not significant enough to warrant a proactive solution. The name is derived from the behavior of ostriches, which are said to bury their heads in the sand when faced with danger, effectively ignoring it.
