 abstract = {We consider the melting of the vortex solid in highly anisotropic
layered superconductors with a small concentration of random columnar
pinning centers. Using large-scale numerical minimization of a
free-energy functional, we find that melting of the low-temperature,
nearly crystalline vortex solid (Bragg glass) into a vortex liquid
occurs in two steps as the temperature increases: the Bragg glass and
liquid phases are separated by an intermediate Bose glass phase. A
suitably defined local melting temperature exhibits spatial variation
similar to that observed in experiments.},
