Abstract :
After two decades of research, reliable computing remains a property of specialized systems and too costly to implement in many applications. We present an object oriented, and fault tolerant distributed system. This system is based on open standards and hides programming complexities. Our technique for delivering replication to programmers is based on typed objects, inheritance and protocol composition. Additionally, this technique uses reliable unordered communication for message delivery
