| Summary: | Abstract: "This paper presents a software-implemented approach for creating fault-tolerant software for parallel-processing applications in a cost-effective way. Self-Checking Object-Oriented Programming (SCOOP) is an approach that automatically provides an acceptance test for duplex- based objects (variables) in the program during its execution. The proposed approach provides a high level of user-transparency by em-ploying [sic] object-oriented principles of data encapsulation and polymorphism. Error-detection is achieved by using a duplication and compare mechanism on memory. It is shown that a high coverage of failures and a small reconfiguration delay can be accomplished by SCOOP. Dependability evaluation study based on the use of stochastic processes is presented. The obtained results show that SCOOP can be used successfully as a software-implemented fault-tolerant mechanism for increasing dependability of parallel and distributed computing systems." |
