Reliable Distributed Systems for CORBA and DCOM
(M.R. Lyu)

In this project we will study the techniques to develop reliable software in the CORBA and DCOM environment. We will apply software fault tolerance techniques to achieve the reliability and availability goals, and implement several software libraries as the middleware to assure the development of highly reliable distributed systems. Our implementation emphasizes on CORBA, DCOM, and Web Services, which are emerging platforms for distributed systems. We will also extend our design and analysis to emerging platforms such as Wireless CORBA and sensor networks.
