Modern clouds depend crucially on an extensible ecosystem of thousands of controllers,
each managing critical systems (eg, a ZooKeeper cluster). A controller continuously …

The increasing use of sensitive private data in computing is matched by a growing concern
regarding data privacy. System software such as hypervisors and operating systems are …

This paper reports our experience applying lightweight formal methods to validate the
correctness of ShardStore, a new key-value storage node implementation for the Amazon …

Go is an increasingly-popular systems programming language targeting, especially,
concurrent and distributed systems. Go differentiates itself from other imperative languages …

The promise of software sandboxing is flexible, fast and portable isolation; capturing the
benefits of hardwarebased memory protection without requiring operating system …

Grove is a concurrent separation logic library for verifying distributed systems. Grove is the
first to handle time-based leases, including their interaction with reconfiguration, crash …

Formal verification is a promising approach to eliminate bugs at compile time, before they
ship. Indeed, our community has verified a wide variety of system software. However, much …

Concurrent systems software is widely-used, complex, and error-prone, posing a significant
security risk. We introduce VRM, a new framework that makes it possible for the first time to …

Implementing highly efficient and correct synchronization primitives on modern Weak
Memory Model (WMM) architectures, such as ARM and RISC-V, is very difficult even for …

We present IronSync, an automated verification framework for concurrent code with shared
memory. IronSync scales to complex systems by splitting system-wide proofs into isolated …
