Concurrency is a central pillar of the Java programming language, is implicit in the transactional model of computation adopted by most persistent systems, and has been widely stu...
Clusters of networked, off-the-shelf workstations are currently used for computationintensive, parallel applications. However, it is hardly possible to predict the timing behaviou...
A type inclusion test is a procedure to decide whether two types are related by a given subtyping relationship. An efficient implementation of the type inclusion test plays an impo...
