Pessimistic and Optimistic Induction
Learning methods vary in the optimism or pessimism with which they regard the informativeness of learned knowledge. Pessimism is implicit in hypothesis testing, where we wish to draw cautious conclusions from experimental evidence.

In contrast, we have concluded that optimistic concurrency control permits more concurrency than pessimistic concurren...
متن کاملMessage Logging: Pessimistic, Optimistic, and Causal
Message logging protocols are an integral part of a technique for implementing processes that can recover from crash failures. All message logging protocols require that, when recovery is complete, there be no orphan processes, which are surviving processes whose states are inconsistent with the recovered state of a crashed process. We give a precise speciication of the consistency property \no...
