Description
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.
