Fault Tolerant Software Technology for Distributed Computer Systems

摘要

This report summarizes the work performed over a two-year period by the CLOUDS project at Georgia Institute of Technology to address the methodologies for fault tolerant software design and implementation in an object-oriented distributed operating system. The major research results are contained in two companion guide book reports resulting from this effort entitled, Action Based Programming for Embedded Systems and Programming Techniques for Resilience and Availability. The information in this report provides an overview of the major aspects of the system and identifies the major issues which are considered in detail in the guidebooks. (KR)
