The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of reusable fault-tolerant mechanisms in C++ (an object-oriented language) and Open C++ (a reflective version of C++) that support the realization of dependable software systems. The target environment for the experiment is a distributed system consisting of multiple SPARC workstations connected through TCP/IP. Testing based on software fault injection is performed and performance-related analysis is provided. Both experimental and analytic results in this paper show that the object-oriented approach with the design of metaobject protocols is particularly promising for the development of computing systems with high dependability requirements
