Certifying a File System Using Crash Hoare Logic: Correctness in the Presence of Crashes
This paper introduces Crash Hoare logic, which extends traditional Hoare logic with a crash condition, a recovery procedure, and logical address spaces for specifying disk states at different abstraction levels.

Technical Perspective: Building a Safety Net For Data Reuse
The authors of "Guilt-Free Data Reuse" show there is a way to construct a safety net that goes around a fixed dataset so that it may be analyzed interactively without compromising statistical validity even when the dataset is…
