In this talk, I would like to outline the practices that I use and those that I don’t find fruitful. There are quite a few books […]

Title: Formally Verifying Implementations of Distributed Systems Abstract: Distributed systems are difficult to implement correctly because they must handle both concurrency and failures: machines may crash at arbitrary points and networks may reorder, drop, or duplicate packets. Further, their behavior is often too complex to permit exhaustive testing. In this talk, we’ll survey the Verdi […]
