Runtime assertion checking is useful for debugging programs and specifications. Existing tools check invariants as well as method preand postconditions, but mostly ignore assignabl...
— This paper describes IKE 2, which is distributed object computing middleware that supports the creation of interoperable realtime distributed applications. These applications a...
The increasing importance of Unicode for text encoding implies a possible doubling of data storage space and data transmission time, with a corresponding need for data compression...
When building scalable systems that involve general-purpose computation and persistent data, object-oriented languages and relational databases are often essential components. Yet...
We propose a novel objective function for discriminatively tuning log-linear machine translation models. Our objective explicitly optimizes the BLEU score of expected n-gram count...
