Critical real-time embedded systems need to apply fault tolerance strategies to deal with operation time errors, either in hardware or software. In this paper we present the ongoing work to provide application fault tolerance by means of implementing middleware transparent support over the BOSS embedded operating system. The middleware uses a publishersubscriber protocol and enables the execution of several fault tolerance strategies with minimum burden to the application level software.
