Abstract

With this chapter dedicated to fault tolerance, we reach the term of our exploration of dependability techniques. All protective fault tolerance mechanisms are defined and implemented during the creation stages of the life cycle, but their action is effective during the operational stage. They aim at guaranteeing the continuity of the service delivered by the product in spite of the presence or the occurrence of faults.
