Verified Progress Tracking for Timely Dataflow

Abstract

Large-scale stream processing systems often follow the dataflow paradigm, which enforces a program structure that exposes a high degree of parallelism. The Timely Dataflow distributed system supports expressive cyclic dataflows for which it offers low-latency data- and pipeline-parallel stream processing. To achieve high expressiveness and performance, Timely Dataflow uses an intricate distributed protocol for tracking the computation’s progress. We modeled the progress tracking protocol as a combination of two independent transition systems in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. We specified and verified the safety of the two components and of the combined protocol. To this end, we identified abstract assumptions on dataflow programs that are sufficient for safety and were not previously formalized.

Generic Authenticated Data Structures, Formally

Authors: Matthias Brun and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract

Authenticated data structures are a technique for outsourcing data storage and maintenance to an untrusted server. The server is required to produce an efficiently checkable and cryptographically secure proof that it carried out precisely the requested computation. Recently, Miller et al. [https://doi.org/10.1145/2535838.2535851] demonstrated how to support a wide range of such data structures by integrating an authentication construct as a first class citizen in a functional programming language. In this paper, we put this work to the test of formalization in the Isabelle proof assistant. With Isabelle’s help, we uncover and repair several mistakes and modify the small-step semantics to perform call-by-value evaluation rather than requiring terms to be in administrative normal form.
