Objects and actions in reliable distributed systems
Santosh Kumar Shrivastava, GN Dixon, GD Parrington · Software Engineering Journal · 1987
This paper describes a method for constructing robust distributed programs. The method is based upon the provision of atomic actions that operate upon objects (instances of abstract data types). The paper begins by constructing robustnon-distributed programs using the atomicaction mechanism and then proceeds to showhow robust distributed programs can be constructed in a similar fashion. Finally, the paper briefly examines other prototy pedistributed systems and examines their approachto the reliability problem.
