VMCAI 2018: “Co-Design and Verification of an Available File System”

Formally verifying the properties of a distributed file system, with Availability under Partition  properties.  The file system consists of interdependent CRDT objects under a strong safety invariant (tree shape).  Paper by Mahsa Najafzadeh, Marc Shapiro and Patrick Eugster, published at VMCAI 2018.  The paper is available here.

Paper on Antidote and Cure accepted for ICDCS

Our paper titled “Cure: Strong semantics meets high availability and low latency” will appear in the forthcoming ICDCS conference. A preprint is available here.

Marc Shapiro Invited talk at Grenoble, 3 March 2016

https://www.liglab.fr/evenements/keynote-speeches/marc-shapiro-just-right-consistency Consistency —ensuring that data items distributed over remote computers agree with each other— is a fundamental issue of distributed computing. No single consistency model is appropriate for all uses: strong consistency requires lots of synchronisation, which has availability and performance issues; weak consistency performs and scales better but is error-prone. Indeed, the famous “CAP” …
