The concept of object can be employed to achieve tolerance to hardware faults in distributed systems.

Abstract
The concept of object can be employed to achieve tolerance to hardware faults in distributed systems. Replication by introducing several copies for each object allows a continuous service even in case of failure. In particular, the paper describes an object model, PROM, which exploits replication by defining several passive back-up copies for any object. The system automatically recovers any failure of a copy in execution by activating a spare copy and restarting it from a previous checkpoint. The aim of the paper is the analysis of the effective support for PROM. This support is organized in structured levels on a distributed architecture. The services that the support should include to guarantee the desired replication model are described. © 1990, Science Press, Beijing China and Allerton Press Inc.. All rights reserved.
