In this paper we investigate the different techniques of fault tolerance which are used in
many real time distributed systems. The main focus is on types of fault occurring in the
system, fault detection techniques and the recovery techniques used. A fault can occur due
to link failure, resource failure or by any other reason is to be tolerated for working the
system smoothly and accurately. These faults can be detected and recovered by many
techniques used accordingly. An appropriate fault detector can avoid loss due to system …

Fault tolerance is more and more important nowadays. The role of computer in industries
cannot be neglected. The computers that control machines are often inter-connected via
fieldbuses. This can be CAN (Control Area Network), I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit),
Spacewire, etc. The goal of this project is to build a fault tolerant distributed system using the
CT (Communicating Thread) Library. The CT Library offers an Application Programming
Interface (API) for CSP (Communicating Sequential Process) programming in popular …
