An Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Component Model

This paper presents a component model for building distributed applications with fault-tolerance requirements. The AFT-CCM model selects the configuration of replicated services during execution time based on QoS requirements specified by the user. The configuration is managed using a set of components that deal with the non-functional aspects of the application. The characteristics of this model and the results obtained with its implementation are described along this paper.
