With the development of the internet technology, network application services based on a large number of network nodes have been focused. However, such application services require much larger network size and traffic than current network. In order to develop them, efficient solutions as well as a simple improvement of network infra processing time are required. In this paper, to contribute a improvement of network computing technology, we design and implement the agent platform software based on the agent technology that performs works independently and asynchronously on a network and platform. The proposed agent platform software supports the scalability to accommodate the number of network hosts with rapid growth, the adaptability on a variable environments, and the availability for a fault-tolerance.

Jini는 네트워크를 통해 사람이나, 기기, 프로그램이 특정 자원을 찾거나 사용하고자 할 때, 관리자의 개입 없이 유연하게 동작하게 하는 분산 미들웨어의 하나이다. 기존의 Jini 서비스는 Lookup Service 데몬(Httpd, Reggie. Rmid)이 실행되어 Discovery, Join, Lookup, Service Invocation의 과정을 통해 이루어지는데, 데몬 fault 발생 시 어떠한 해결점이 없다는 것이 문제점이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Jini 서비스 데몬 손실로 인한 Jini 서비스의 Fault 문제를 해결하기 위해 Grid환경 하에서 그리드 서비스를 사용하여 Jini 서비스에 Fault Tolerance를 제공하는 시스템의 구조와 방법을 제시한다.

General customer uses internet, SMS(Short Message Service), ATM(Automated Teller Machine), DM(Direct Mail), and telephony services, etc, for service of big businesses and small and medium enterprises, securities, financial institutions, bank. In particular, the case of Fire insurance & Securities, financial institutions, banks must meet Real-Time constrain control through QoS(Quality of Service) ensure. In this paper, we design and implement a system model about Fault-Tolerance IVR(Interactive Voice Response) of Multi Channel Service based on CRM(Customer Relationship Management) environment for the first inbound position of customer. The proposed model can be widely used in Large-scale Customer Response service.

Normally, a distributed computing environment is flexible in controlling complex embedded systems but their software components are becoming complex as these systems are equipped with several platforms and attached to various electronic devices, sensors, and actuators. These systems requires inter-object communication mechanisms to provide fault tolerant and QoS-enabled middleware service support in a distributed system. Generally, a middleware performs analysis of the parameters to ensure the availability and reliability of data dissemination. This paper focuses in particular to designing an application middleware for the specific scenario to improve the high availability and fault tolerance of data thus improving the QoS (Quality of Service) of a distributed system. The performance of an adaptive and highly reliable middleware can be significant based on the selection of vital parameters of the system.

In this paper, a criteria for selecting an appropriate load redistribution algorithm is devised so that a fault-tolerance distributed system can operte at its optimal efficience. To present the guideline for selecting redistributing algorithms, simulation models of fault-tolerant system including redistribution algorithms are developed using SLAM II. The job arrival rate, service rate, failure and repair rate of nodes, and communication delay time due to load migration are used as parameters of simulation. The result of simulation shows that the job arrival rate and the failure rate of nodes are not deciding factors in affecting the relative efficiency of algorithms. Algorithm B shows relatively a consistent performance under various environments, although its performance is between those of other algorithms. If the communication delay time is longer than average job processing time, the performance of algorithm B is better than others. If the repair rate is relatively small or communication delay time is longer than service time, algorithm A leads to good performance. But in opposite environments, algorithm C is superior to other algorithms.

This paper explains the design and implementation of the FRA(Fault Recovery Agent). FRA is a system that is suitable for recovering software error for multimedia distance education based on home network environment. In terms of distributed multimedia systems, the most important catagories for quality of service are a timeless, volume, and reliability. In this paper, we discuss a method for increasing reliability through fault tolerance. This paper explains a performance analysis of an error recovery system running on distributed multimedia environment using rule-based DEVS modeling and simulation techniques. In DEVS, a system has a time base, inputs, states, outputs, and functions. The proposed method is more efficient than the other method in comparison with error ration and processing time.

In this paper, we propose a strategy to improve fault-tolerance and scalability of replicated services in mobile agent systems by applying an appropriate passive replication protocol for each replicated service according to whether the service is deterministic or non-deterministic. For this purpose, two passive replication protocols, PRPNS and PRPDS, are designed for non-deterministic and deterministic services respectively. They both allow visiting mobile agents to be forwarded to and execute their tasks on any node performing a service agent, not necessarily the primary agent. Especially, in the protocol PRPDS, after a backup service agent has received each mobile agent request and obtained its delivery sequence number from the primary service agent, the backup is responsible for processing the request and coordinating with the other replica service agents. Therefore, our strategy using the two proposed protocols can promise high scalability of replicated services a large number of mobile agents attempt to access in mobile agent systems. Our simulation results show that the proposed strategy performs much better than the one using only the traditional passive replication protocol.

The rapid growth of sense-and-respond applications and the emerging cloud computing model present a new challenge: providing publish/subscribe middleware as a scalable and elastic cloud service. The publish/subscribe interaction model is a promising solution for scalable data dissemination over wide-area networks. In addition, there have been some work on the publish/subscribe messaging paradigm that guarantees reliability and availability in the face of node and link failures. These publish/subscribe systems are commonly used in information-centric networks and edge-fog-cloud infrastructures for IoT. The IoT has an edge-fog cloud infrastructure to efficiently process massive amounts of sensing data collected from the surrounding environment. In this paper. we propose a quorum-based hierarchical fault-tolerant publish/subscribe systems (QHFPS) to enable reliable delivery of messages in the presence of link and node failures. The QHFPS efficiently distributes IoT messages to the publish/subscribe brokers in fog overlay layers on the basis of proposing extended stepped grid (xS-grid) quorum for providing tolerance when faced with node failures and network partitions. We evaluate the performance of QHFPS in three aspects: number of transmitted Pub/Sub messages, average subscription delay, and subscritpion delivery rate with an analytical model.

In wireless sensor networks, the limited battery resources of sensor nodes have a direct impact on network lifetime. To reduce unnecessary power consumption, it is often the case that only a minimum number of sensor nodes operate in active mode while the others are kept in sleep mode. In such a case, however, the network service can be easily unreliable if any active node is unable to perform its sensing or communication function because of an unexpected failure. Thus, for achieving reliable sensing, it is important to maintain the sensing level even when some sensor nodes fail. In this paper, we propose a new fault-tolerance scheme, called FCP(Fault-tolerant Coverage Preserving), that gives an efficient way to handle the degradation of the sensing level caused by sensor node failures. In the proposed FCP scheme, a set of backup nodes are pre-designated for each active node to be used to replace the active node in case of its failure. Experimental results show that the FCP scheme provides enhanced performance with reduced overhead in terms of sensing coverage preserving, the number of backup nodes and the amount of control messages. On the average, the percentage of coverage preserving is improved by 87.2% while the additional number of backup nodes and the additional amount of control messages are reduced by 57.6% and 99.5%, respectively, compared with previous fault-tolerance schemes.
