Process migration in DEMOS/MP
TL;DR: The DEMOS/MP operating system as discussed by the authors allows a process to be moved during its execution, and continue on another processor, with continuous access to all its resources, and message paths are quickly updated to take advantage of the process's new location.

Network resilience: a measure of network fault tolerance
Walid Najjar,Jean-Luc Gaudiot +1 more
TL;DR: The authors derive an analytical approximation to the disconnection probability and verify it with a Monte Carlo simulation, on the basis of which the measures of network resilience and relative network resilience are proposed as probabilistic measures ofnetwork fault tolerance.

A Fault-Tolerant Communication Architecture for Distributed Systems
TL;DR: A communication architecture for distributed processors is presented, based on a new topolgy developed, one which interconnects n nodes by using rn links where the maximum internode distance is logrn, and where each node has, at most, 2r, I/O ports.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distributed program reliability analysis
TL;DR: Graph theory techniques are used to systematically generate file spanning trees that provide all the required connections and can be used in a dynamic environment for efficient reliability evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autonomous Decentralized Computer Control Systems
TL;DR: The autonomous, decentralized system described in this article is a highly reliable system, which performs the functions of both the control system and information system, and which greatly exceeds that of comparable systems with centralized architectures.
