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.
