Abstract

Unanticipated runtime events, such as faults, can leadto missed deadlines in real-time systems. While it is notalways possible to know when a fault will occur, we cansometimes exploit pre-fault "symptoms" to initiate proactive(rather than reactive) fault-recovery. In this paper, wedescribe the design and implementation of a proactive recoverystrategy for distributed CORBA applications in thepresence of resource-exhaustion faults. We analyze the effectof different proactive recovery schemes on client/serverresponse times, and we demonstrate a significant reduction,both in jitter and in the number of client-side failures.
