Abstract
The use of Object-Oriented Distributed Programming(OODP) environment such as DCOM, DSOM, Java RMI, CORBA to implement distributed applications is becoming increasingly popular. However, absence of a fault-tolerance feature in these middleware platforms complicates the design and implementation of reliable distributed object-based applications, although they greatly enhance the quality and reusability of the distributed object-based applications. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant programming environment based on RMI, namely Evergreen, for the reliable distributed computing with checkpoints and rollback-recovery mechanism. Based on a series of experiments, we evaluate the performance of Evergreen and find its possibility of extension to fully support our optimal design goal.
