- This Project Grant award, with a total funding of $375,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). The award aims to simplify and automate the verification of high-performance distributed systems, which are crucial but complex. The project will develop new techniques, such as "message invariants" and "distributed ownership types," to make formal verification of real-world,...
- This $900,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) aims to develop "pay-as-you-go" technology for verifying consistency properties of distributed system designs. The objective is to reduce the burden of using formal methods to prove consistency guarantees, enabling more widespread adoption and enabling the creation of more reliable distributed systems. The project will implement...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program, CFDA 47.070, aims to simplify and automate the verification of high-performance distributed systems. The $375,000 award to the Regents of the University of Michigan, to be completed by September 2027, will develop new techniques such as message invariants and distributed ownership types to make formal verification of complex, real-world distributed systems more...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant, with a total award of $406,143, supports research to develop composable semantic models and methodologies for formally verifying the correctness of weakly consistent distributed systems. The award, granted to Northeastern University, will focus on modeling and verifying the semantics of distributed systems rather than specific implementations, enabling reusable proofs and simplified...
- This Project Grant award of $387,341 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research to extend auto-active verification techniques to enable the verification of security and privacy properties, known as hyperproperties, for software systems. The key objectives of the three-year project are to: 1) develop new deductive logics and algebras to support automated reasoning about relationships between...
- This National Science Foundation project grant supports research into composable verification of crash-safe distributed systems through Grove, a new approach that allows modular formal verification of distributed system components in the presence of crashes. With a total award amount of $249,998, the grant runs from March 15, 2023 through May 31, 2026. The work directly addresses challenges in reasoning about crash recovery in distributed systems where individual nodes can crash and reboot, as...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program project grant award (CFDA 47.070) provides $249,867 to New York University (NYU) from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027. Under this award, NYU will develop a prototype distributed database called VDDB and a new verification framework called PHLOX to formally specify and verify the correctness of VDDB. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of using formal verification to improve the...
- This $333,627 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of new techniques for reasoning about randomness in computer programs. The project aims to create program logics and reasoning tools that enable more precise and compositional analysis of concurrent randomized programs, which have applications in critical domains such as cryptography and machine learning. The research team at New...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $303,209 to New York University (NYU) to develop new techniques for verifying the absence of liveness bugs in distributed systems with malicious or "Byzantine" participants. The project aims to create an automation-friendly approach for modularly verifying the liveness of such distributed systems, including the development of novel liveness-preserving composition operators. Additionally, the research team will create new educational materials and organize an annual verification research event. This work expands the types of distributed systems that can be formally verified, improving the reliability of these critical systems.
