Internet of Things (IoT) deployments are becoming increasingly automated and vastly more
complex. Facilitated by programming abstractions such as trigger-action rules, end-users …

The first SCION book, published in 2017, summarized the results of eight years of work by
over a dozen researchers. Now, five years later, we have completely rewritten the book. It …

Modern databases embrace weak isolation levels to cater for highly available transactions.
However, weak isolation bugs have recently manifested in many production databases. This …

Today's distributed systems must satisfy both qualitative and quantitative properties. These
properties are analyzed using very different formal frameworks: expressive untimed and non …

Many transaction systems distribute, partition, and replicate their data for scalability,
availability, and fault tolerance. However, observing and maintaining strong consistency of …

Distributed read atomic transactions are important building blocks of modern cloud
databases that magnificently bridge the gap between data availability and strong data …

Develo** a reliable distributed system meeting desired performance requirements is a
hard and labor-intensive task. Formal specification and analysis of a system design can …

We present N-Tube, a novel, provably secure, inter-domain bandwidth reservation algorithm
that runs on a network architecture supporting path-based forwarding. N-Tube reserves …

A concurrent system specified as a rewrite theory can be analyzed symbolically using
narrowing-based reachability analysis. Narrowing-based approaches have been applied to …

Modern web services crucially rely on high-performance distributed databases, where
concurrent transactions are isolated from each other using concurrency control protocols …
