Suit of Armor

At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, researchers are also working on new technology to improve the availability of applications. The Adaptive Reconfigurable Mobile Objects of Reliability (ARMOR) project under the direction of Professor Ravi Iyer has been developing new approaches for designing and validating high-availability applications. The design techniques are centered on the use of ARMOR, which provides a wide range of detection and recovery services—a suit of armor. ARMOR services can be used to provide progressively higher degrees of availability for a user application.

Level 1 is completely transparent. It detects application process crashes, recovers the application by restarting, and migrates failed application ...
