Fast Verification of Strong Database Isolation
Summary: VeriStrong introduces hyperpolygraphs to compactly model certain and uncertain transactional dependencies in black-box executions. Sound, complete SMT encodings for serializability and snapshot isolation deliver substantially faster, more scalable anomaly detection than prior verifiers.
