Abstract: We provide a suitable distributed system model and implementation of the Chandy--Lamport distributed snapshot algorithm [ACM Transactions on Computer Systems, 3, 63-75, 1985]. Our main result is a formal termination and correctness proof of the Chandy--Lamport algorithm and its use in stable property detection.
