Design and Analysis of Fault-Tolerant Distributed Real-Time Computer Systems

Abstract

The objective of this project was to contribute to the establishment of the scientific foundation for designing fault-tolerant distributed computer systems. The results obtained from the Phase I of this research project are summarized here. Main results are as follows. (1) A preliminary approach to specification of timing constraints during distributed computer system design and to validation of the temporal behavior of the system. (2) A scheme for coordinated execution of independently designed recoverable distributed processes, and (3) Establishment of initial versions of three of the real time computer network testbeds and a testbed-based evaluation of the distributed recovery block (DRB) scheme. The Phase II of this project was conducted at the University of California, Irvine under Contract No. N00014-87-K-0231 and concluded on Dec. 31, 1989.
