PURPOSE: To provide a cooperative distributed processing method for backing up the lost function of a failed distributed node with a healthy distributed node in the case where a fault is detected in the distributed node in a distributed processing system, and a supporting device for constructing a system. ;CONSTITUTION: On a distributed shared memory 13, a state monitoring table 15 where distributed system management data are recorded and shared data 14 shared and utilized by the respective distributed nodes 10a to 10d are place. The respective distributed nodes perform a normal processing while performing mutual monitoring by the distributed system management data, and when the fault of the other distributed node is detected, lost function replacement is performed among the normal distribured nodes corresponding to the priority of the execution right of an application task 16 lost by the fault.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
