+Mercury is a purely declarative programming language that is highly
+suited to parallel execution.
+We present two main contributions towards parallel execution of
+Mercury programs.
+The first is a source-to-source transformation
+that allows goals with dependencies to execute in parallel,
+with no negative impact on code which doesn't make use of it.
+The second is the design and implementation of a new parallel
+execution mechanism that allows parallel code to execute far more
+efficiently than in the existing Mercury implementation.
