The ISIS Project

Abstract

This report summarizes the accomplishments of the ISIS project during the entire funding period. During the first two and one-half years of DARPA funding of the ISIS project our effort was focused on support for resilient objects: abstract data types capable of tolerating failures. Below, we list the major tasks that we were asked to address in connection with this concept. In each case, the actual accomplishments of the project are discussed: 1) Techniques for efficiently implementing resilient objects; 2) Procedures for improving resilient object performance; 3) Techniques for minimizing inter-site message traffic in a system supporting resilient objects; 4) A prototype version of the ISIS-1 system capable of supporting simple objects; and 5) Evaluation of the prototype.
