Abstract

The paper describes a recovery technique called progressive retry for bypassing software faults in message passing applications. The technique is implemented as reusable modules to provide application-level software fault tolerance. The paper describes the implementation of the technique and presents results from the application of progressive retry to two telecommunications systems. The results presented show that the technique is helpful in reducing the total recovery time for message-passing applications
