Sinopsis

Delta-4 is a 5-nation, 13-partner project that has been investigating the achievement of dependability in open distributed systems, including real-time systems. This book describes the design and validation of the distributed fault-tolerant architecture developed within this project. The key features of the Delta-4 architecture are: (a) a distributed object-oriented application support environment; (b) built-in support for user-transparent fault tolerance; (c) use of multicast or group communication protocols; and (d) use of standard off the-shelf processors and standard local area network technology with minimum specialized hardware. The book is organized as follows: The first 3 chapters give an overview of the architecture’s objectives and of the architecture itself, and compare the proposed solutions with other approaches. Chapters 4 to 12 give a more detailed insight into the Delta-4 architectural concepts. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to providing a firm set of general concepts and terminology regarding dependable and real-time computing. Chapter 6 is centred on fault-tolerance techniques based on distribution. The description of the architecture itself commences with a description of the Delta-4 application support environment (Deltase) in chapter 7. Two variants of the architecture - the Delta-4 Open System Architecture (OSA) and the Delta-4 Extra Performance Architecture (XPA) - are described respectively in chapters 8 and 9. Both variants of the architecture have a common underlying basis for dependable multicasting, i. e.

Reseña del editor

This book describes the design philosophy and concepts of a novel distributed fault-tolerant architecture developed by the Delta-4 project, a five-nation, thirteen-partner project investigating the achievement of dependability in open distributed systems, including real-time systems. The architecture features a dependable communication system using standard local area network technology, a distributed object-oriented application support environment, use of multicast or group communication protocols, and built-in support for user-transparent fault-tolerance. The book opens with an overview of the architecture and its objectives, then describes the concepts of de- pendability, real-time and distributed fault-tolerance and the design of each of the major architectural components, including the Delta-4 applications support environment and the open and extra performance variants of the architecture. Work is described in the field of security, on intrusion-tolerance and tolerance of software design faults by diversified design. Finally, there is an overview of the validation activities carried out on the architecture. The book gives an insight into state-of-the-art techniques for providing both dependable and real-time service in distributed systems.
