open call An alien method invoked outside of a synchronized region is known as an open call [Lea00 2.4.1.3] [Bloch 2008], [Lea 2000].

override One class method overrides a method in a superclass if they have compatible signatures. The overridden method is still accessible from the class via the super keyword. See [JLS 2005] §8.4.8.1 for the formal definition. Contrast with BB. Glossary.

partial order An order defined for some, but not necessarily all, pairs of items. For instance, the sets {a, b} and {a, c, d} are subsets of {a, b, c, d}, but neither is a subset of the other. So is a "subset of" is a partial order on sets [Black 2004]

program order The order that interthread actions are performed by a thread according to the intra-thread semantics of the thread. "Program order [can be described] as the order of bytecodes present in the .class file, as they would execute based on control flow values" (David Holmes, JMM Mailing List).

publishing objects Publishing an object means making it available to code outside of its current scope, such as by storing a reference to it where other code can find it, returning it from a nonprivate method, or passing it to a method in another class [Goetz 2006a].

race condition "General races cause nondeterministic execution and are failures in programs intended to be deterministic" [Netzer 1992]. "A race condition occurs when the correctness of a computation depends on the relative timing or interleaving of multiple threads by the runtime" [Goetz 2006a].

relativization (URI) [Relativization] is the inverse of resolution. For example, relativizing the URI http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/index.html against the base URI http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3 yields the relative URI docs/guide/index.html [API 2006].
