Abstract:
The fact that computer system failures cannot be completely prevented
makes recovery an unavoidable choice for high availability. Among all
fault tolerant techniques, log-based rollback recovery is relatively
cheap yet provides effective recovery upon failures. In this proposal,
we study log-based rollback recovery for service-oriented applications
such as Web services, which involve multithreading, shared in-memory
data access, consistency among applications and consistency with
transactional resources. We first make a complete survey of the existing
work, then describe the architecture of service-oriented applications,
advance the recovery goals for such applications and finally outline the
features of our solution.
