Distributed Systems: Interconnection and Fault Tolerance Studies

Abstract

The goal of this project was to study the primary design and implementation issues in distributed implementation of hard real-time systems. We organized the effort under a project named MARUTI and defined the goal as the creation of an environment for the development and deployment of applications with hard real-time, fault tolerance, and security requirements, as are often found in the embedded systems 12, 13. Good examples of such embedded systems are found in signal processing and avionics applications. Such applications must be able to execute on a distributed, heterogeneous hardware base. During the past three years we have created a framework for such an environment and have demonstrated the feasibility of the design through initial implementations of the prototype components of the MARUTI Environment. In this proposal, we outline the research effort we propose to undertake over the next three years. The design of the MARUTI Environment is motivated by the requirements of the next generation of applications. In the rest of this section we present some details of these requirements.
