Abstract

A distributed database system is subject to site failure and link failure. This paper presents a reactive system approach to achieving the faulttolerance in such a system. The reactive system concepts are an attractive paradigm for system design, development and maintenance because it separates policies from mechanisms. In the paper we give a solution using different reactive modules to implement the fault-tolerant policies and the failure detection mechanisms. The solution shows that they can be separated without impact on each other thus the system can adapt to constant changes in user requirements.
