The ioco relation has become a standard in model-based conformance testing. The co-ioco conformance relation is an extension of this relation to concurrent systems specified with true-concurrency models. This relation assumes a global control and observation of the system under test, which is not usually realistic in the case of physically distributed systems. Such systems can be partially obse...

We propose a pre-processing stage for Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems where the words of the source sentence are re-ordered as per the syntax of the target language prior to the alignment process, so that the alignment found by the statistical system is improved. We take a dependency parse of the source sentence and linearize it as per the syntax of the target language, before it ...
