Many fault tolerance techniques that have been devised, applied and improved over the past three decades represent general solutions to recurring problems in the design of fault tolerant computer systems. This document presents some of the best known such techniques, formatted as patterns and organized by a classification scheme into a system of patterns for fault tolerance. This pattern system...

The emergence of wireless networked sensors constitutes a hot research topic in embedded system design. Although system resource is seriously limited, operating system applied in sensors has to implement complex task scheduling, which should support concurrent operations, real-time constraint, adaptability and reliability. In this paper, we present a reliable OS scheduling scheme for wireless n...

Cloud computing is upcoming a mainstream feature of information technology. More progressively enterprises deploy their software systems in the cloud environment. The applications in cloud are usually large scale and containing a lot of distributed cloud components. Building cloud applications is highly reliable for challenging and critical research issues. Information processing systems has in...

This paper presents the design and prototype implementation of a reactive system that facilitates the fault detection and fault tolerance for a loosely integrated heterogeneous database system. The fault detection mechanism uses sensors to monitor individual databases and system objects and to detect database or system component failures. The fault tolerance mechanism uses actuators to react on...

The energy router composed of double active bridge (DAB) can interconnect multiple voltage level AC distribution network through DC lines to form AC/DC hybrid network. fault types the system are diverse and characteristics complex. This paper studies in detail. single-phase grounding side valve occurred system. explored impact after above failure, make a detailed comparative analysis. results s...

This chapter describes a study on workflow scheduling with fault tolerance. It starts with an understanding on workflow scheduling and fault tolerance technologies independently. Next, the chapter surveys the related works on the combination field of workflow scheduling and fault tolerance technologies. Generally, these works are classified into six categories corresponding to the six fault tol...

In this paper, we focus on automated techniques to enhance the fault-tolerance of a nonmasking fault-tolerant program to masking. A masking program continually satisfies its specification even if faults occur. By contrast, a nonmasking program merely guarantees that after faults stop occurring, the program recovers to states from where it continually satisfies its specification. Until the recov...

We present a new approach to fault tolerance for High Performance Computing system. Our approach is based on a careful adaptation of the Algorithmic Based Fault Tolerance technique (Huang and Abraham, 1984) to the need of parallel distributed computation. We obtain a strongly scalable mechanism for fault tolerance. We can also detect and correct errors (bit-flip) on the fly of a computation. To...
