Creating dependable Web services using user-transparent replica

Dependability is a major concern in software development, deployment, and operation. A commonly accepted solution for providing fault tolerant services on the Internet is to create replica of the services and to deploy them to several hosts. Whenever the service or the underlying node or network fails, another service is ready to take over. In the Venice project, several techniques are combined to create a dependable framework for deploying and managing distributed services using replica on several distinct network nodes.
