This survey covers rollback-recovery techniques that do not require special language
constructs. In the first part of the survey we classify rollback-recovery protocols into …

Checkpointing is the act of saving the state of a running program so that it may be
reconstructed later in time. It is an important basic functionality in computing systems that …

Software rejuvenation is the concept of gracefully terminating an application and
immediately restarting it at a clean internal state. In a client-server type of application where …

Many applications demand availability. Unfortunately, software failures greatly reduce
system availability. Prior work on surviving software failures suffers from one or more of the …

This paper presents the design and implementation of the Bluetooth local positioning
application. Positioning is based on received power levels, which are converted to distance …

Preventive maintenance of operational software systems, a novel technique for software
fault tolerance, is used specifically to counteract the phenomenon of software" aging" …

By software implemented fault tolerance, we mean a set of software facilities to detect 'and
recover from faults that are are not handled by the underlying hardware or operating system …

In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing consistent global checkpoints that
contain a given set of checkpoints. We address three important issues related to this …

Based on extensive field failure data for Tandem's GUARDIAN operating system, the paper
discusses evaluation of the dependability of operational software. Software faults …

A microservice architecture features hundreds or even thousands of small loosely coupled
services with multiple instances. Because microservice performance depends on many …
