Using dynamic atomic actions to build fault tolerant systems
Michel Banâtre, Philippe Joubert, Christine Morin, Gilles Muller, Bruno Rochat · 1992
The purpose of this note is to propose a model for building fault tolerant systems. We present an approach based on the object paradigm. To ensure system consistency in the event of failure we provide two basic mechamisms, the persistent state of an object and the recovery unit. Methods are called within recovery units. To define global checkpoints, we build dynamic distributed atomic actions from dependencies between recovery units. One implementation of this model is then briefly presented.
