“…fault tolerance strategies) can be developed independently and easily customized according to different fault assumptions and system configurations. Although runtime reflection is often costly in terms of performance, it has been shown in previous experiments reported in [13] that the inherent cost of fault tolerance mechanisms by replication is several orders of magnitude higher than the cost of handling the object-metaobject interaction at runtime.…”

The use of metalevel architectures for the implementation of fault-tolerant systems is today very appealing. Nevertheless, all such fault-tolerant systems have used a general-purpose metaobject protocol (MOP) or are based on restricted reflective features of some object-oriented language. According to our past experience, we define in this paper a suitable metaobject protocol, called FT-MOP for building fault-tolerant systems. We explain how to realize a specialized runtime MOP using compile-time reflection. This MOP is CORBA compliant: it enables the execution and the state evolution of CORBA objects to be controlled and enables the fault tolerance metalevel to be developed as CORBA software.
