Abstract

The distributed systems group in Trinity have been concerned with fault tolerance for a number years and are now turning our attention to the topic with renewed interest (and urgency). Specifically we are concerned to provide mechanisms for fault tolerance in thc Oisin kernel [5] - the local implementation of the COMANDOS object oriented distributed system [12]. This short position paper outlines our experience gained to date, some of the lessons we have learned and the avenues which we are currently investigating in order to make Oisin reliable.
