This paper revisits the pivot language approach for machine translation. First, we investigate three different methods for pivot translation. Then we employ a hybrid method combin...
We address the problem of making online, parallel query plans fault-tolerant: i.e., provide intra-query fault-tolerance without blocking. We develop an approach that not only achi...
Abstract--Ensuring the correctness of complex implementations of software transactional memory (STM) is a daunting task. Attempts have been made to formally verify STMs, but these ...
