About us
Interested in reading some of the classic and newly classic papers in computer science?
This is the Portland, OR chapter of Papers We Love, an organization that curates interesting papers in the computer science literature and helps organize local chapters to read and discuss them.
Prior to each event we will select a paper to read and post it so that attendees can read it in advance to promote good discussion.
At each gathering we will discuss the paper and select the next one to read.
If you know of a great paper we could read, please submit it via GitHub Issues.
You can also join our Discord channel.

Crash-Only Software
The Glass Lab, The Glass lab, Portland, OR, USOur next paper is "Crash-Only Software" by Candea and Fox.
Crash-only programs crash safely and recover quickly. There is only one way to stop such software—by crashing it—and only one way to bring it up—by initiating recovery. Crash-only systems are built from crash-only components, and the use of transparent component-level retries hides intra-system component crashes from end users. In this paper we advocate a crash-only design for Internet systems, showing that it can lead to more reliable, predictable code and faster, more effective recovery. We present ideas on how to build such crash-only Internet services, taking successful techniques to their logical extreme.
