Lightweight Verification of Software (LiveSoft)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

As illustrated through the advent of cloud computing, cyberphysical systems, or the Internet of Things, more and more applications are inherently distributed. At the same time, programming distributed systems is notoriously hard. Programmers have to deal with asynchrony and have to cater for partial failures -- the possibility that certain communication(s), processes, or hosts fail while others re ...
