Garf: a tool for programming reliable distributed applications

The authors discuss Garf object-oriented tool that supports the design and programming of reliable distributed applications. Garf lets developers program an application and then replicate its critical components over several machines. Using a built-in library of distributed abstractions, developers can choose a replication strategy for each component of the application.
