Talk Abstract: For several decades, my collaborators, students, and I have worked on theory for distributed systems in order to understand their capabilities and limitations in a rigorous, mathematical way. This work has produced many different kinds of results, including:
• Abstract models for problems that are solved by distributed systems, and for the algorithms used to solve them
• Rigorous proofs of algorithm correctness and performance properties (also some error discoveries),
• Impossibility results and lower bounds, expressing inherent limitations of distributed systems,
• Some new algorithms, and
• General mathematical foundations for modeling and analyzing distributed systems.

PHILADELPHIA – A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has affirmed a trial court decision which found that Carnegie Mellon University did not discriminate against a master’s degree student afflicted with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, when he failed out of the school’s computer science program.
On March 5, Third Circuit judges L. Felipe Restrepo, Stephanos Bibas and David J. Porter ruled to uphold a decision from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in favor of Carnegie Mellon and against plaintiff Sanchit Jain.
Jain, who has ADHD, was a master’s student in the computer science program at Carnegie Mellon. When he enrolled in 2017, he sought disability accommodations, like flexible due dates for his homework, and the school approved them all.
Observability vs. monitoring
For many people, observability will just sound like a convenient rebranding of application monitoring, and any skepticism around the latest industry buzzword is justified. However, as my colleague David Linthicum puts it, there is a basic difference: Monitoring “is something you do (a verb); observability is an attribute of a system (a noun),” he wrote.
Taking things one step further, engineering manager and technical blogger Ernest Mueller wrote back in 2018 that “observability is a property of a system. You can monitor a system using various instrumentation, but if the system doesn’t externalize its state well enough that you can figure out what’s actually going on in there, then you’re stuck.”
