Abstract
With only a few niche applications, the software industry had not previously figured out how to make deep use of formal mechanical reasoning based on mathematical logic. At Amazon we’ve recently seen tremendous adoption of the approach by product groups, with a variety of customer-facing launches that use automated reasoning, and numerous internal proof projects. This describes those projects, and captures aspects of why Amazon has been successful where others have been less so. The talk also describes challenges that we face to scale the approach to the next level.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
