Provendo serviços para tolerância a faltas em sistemas distribuídos.

Abstract

Fault tolerance mechanisms must be introduced into systems if a dependability is to be attained. The Seljuk architecture provides a number of services to facilitate the implementation and support the execution of dependable distributed applications. This dissertation discusses the main fault tolerance services used by dependable distributed applications and how these services are provided by the Seljuk-Amoeba operating environment. Furthermore, a terminology proposal in Portuguese language for the area of dependability and other areas in the Computing Science is presented.
