Abstract

In this paper we describe our experiences applying formal software verification in a real-world distributed Video-on-Demand server. As the application of formal methods to large systems is extremely difficult, relevant properties of a particular subsystem have been identified and then verified separately. Conclusions on the whole system can be drawn later. The development consists of two parts: first, the definition of the algorithm in the coq proof assistant; second, codification of the theorems with the help of some new tactics derived from the abstraction of verification patterns common to different proofs.
