Abstract

In a distributed computer network dynamic redundance can be used to improve system reliability. After detection of a node or module failure processing is taken over by a backup task located on another computer of the network. Before resumption of processing a prior system state has to be restored. Thereby the interactions of tasks have to be considered. In order to accelerate the restoration procedure it is important that each task can determine the extent of backtracking and the restart moment only on the basis of informations about its own interactions. The known “Chase Protocol” has been adopted to control the restoration process. Thereby it has shown, that in distinct error situations a task local decision about recovery points is only possible, if all informations about interactions have been saved. Finally the problems are discussed, which restrict the use of a backward recovery technique in the context of process control
