dc.description.abstract | Fault tolerance problems arise in large-scale distributed systems
because application components may eventually fail due to hardware problems,
operator mistakes or design faults. Fault tolerance mechanisms must be
employed to reduce the susceptibility of a given system to failure. In this paper,
we describe the design of an architecture to overcome potential application
component failures, using CORBA, a distributed object middleware specified by
the OMG. Of primary importance to this architecture is OMG?s CORBA Object
Trading Service as the mechanism to advertise and manage service offers for
fault tolerant application components. This mechanism enables clients
transparently to detect a failed connection to a service object, to discover a
similar backup service object and to re-connect to it. This improves overall
system stability and enables scalability. | en |
