Given that faults cannot be prevented in sufficiently complex systems, means of fault tolerance are essential for dependable distributed systems. Designing and evaluating fault-tolerant systems require well-conceived fault models. In the past, theoretical works have used simplified models that, whil
The ISIS system transforms abstract type specifications into fault-tolerant distributed implementations, while insulating users from the mechanisms whereby fault-tolerance is achieved. This paper discusses the transformations that are used within ISIS, methods for achieving improved performance by c

Fault tolerance is an approach by which reliability of a computer system can be increased beyond what can be achieved by traditional methods. While hardware supported fault tolerance has been well-documented, the newer, software supported fault tolerance techniques have remained scattered throu
<p>The most important use of computing in the future will be in the context of the global "digital convergence" where everything becomes digital and everyΒ thing is inter-networked. The application will be dominated by storage, search, retrieval, analysis, exchange and updating of information in a w
