A System of Patterns for Fault Tolerance

Many fault tolerance techniques that have been devised, applied and improved over the past three decades represent general solutions to recurring problems in the design of fault tolerant computer systems. This document presents some of the best known such techniques, formatted as patterns and organized by a classification scheme into a system of patterns for fault tolerance. This pattern system reveals the relations among the presented patterns for fault tolerance and delineates a number of ways in which these patterns can be used to refine each other. In turn, these refinement relations create design frameworks for the development of fault tolerant systems with different efficiency and complexity characteristics.
