Abstract
While typical solutions focus on fault tolerance (and specifically, exception handling) during the design and implementation phases of the software life-cycle (e.g., Java and Windows NT exception handling), more recently the need for explicit exception handling solutions during the entire life cycle has been advocated by some researchers. Several solutions have been proposed for fault tolerance via exception handling at the software architecture and component levels. This paper describes how the two concepts of fault tolerance and software architectures have been integrated so far. It is structured in two parts (overview on fault tolerance and exception handling, and integrating fault tolerance into software architecture) and is based on a survey study on architecting fault tolerant systems where more than fifteen approaches have been analyzed and classified. This paper concludes by identifying those issues that remain still open and require deeper investigation.
