What do you understand by side-by-site execution of assembly?

Side by side execution refers to running/execution of different versions of the same assembly at the same time on the same machine. It gives us more control over the versioning of the assembly. When you strong name an assembly, version number becomes a part of its identity, and thus we can register different version of the same assembly in the GAC and execute them side by side.
