Abstract :
The inheritance mechanism of object-oriented languages is used in the new domain of fault-tolerant distributed systems. Inheritance in Avalon/C++ is used to transmit properties, such as serializability and crash resilience, that are of specific interest in distributed applications. Three base classes are presented: resilient, atomic, and dynamic. They are arranged in a linear hierarchy. Examples of derived classes with objects that guarantee desirable fault-tolerance properties are given.<>
