A new technique, based on virtual backpointers, is presented in this paper for local concurrent error detection and correction in linked data structures. Two new data structures utilizing virtual backpointers, the Virtual Double-Linked List and the B-Tree and Virtual Backpointers, are described. For these structures, double errors within a fixed-size checking window can be detected in constant time and single errors detected during forward moves can be corrected in constant time.
