"Formal Methods for Systems Software: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly"

(MPI-SWS in Kooperation mit dem Fachbereich Informatik)

Formal methods have recently gained a resurgent interest in academia and industry due to the the increasing demand of high-assurance systems software. This can be evidenced by the increasing investment on formal methods in industry like Microsoft, Amazon and Huawei. In this talk, I will share our experiences in applying formal methods in verifying systems software. Specifically, I will describe the efforts in applying formal methods in the design and implementation synchronization primitives, file systems and distributed system protocols. Based on these, I will further describe the experiences and lessons learned in applying formal methods at a large-scale setting, and discuss possible challenges and opportunities in fostering better synergy between academia and industry.
