Component based software engineering (CBSE) is a new archetype to construct the systems by using reusable components "as it is". To achieve high dependability in such systems, there must be appropriate fault tolerance mechanism in them at the architectural level. This paper presents a fault tolerant component based architecture that relies on the C2 architectural style and is based on design diverse and exception handling fault tolerance strategies. The proposed fault tolerant component architecture employs special-purpose connectors called design diverse-multiple version connectors (DD-MVC). These connectors allow design diverse n-versions of components to run in parallel. The proposed architecture has a Fault tolerant connector (FTC), which detects and tolerates different kinds of errors. The proposed architecture adjusts the tradeoff between dependability and efficiency at run time and exhibits the ability to tolerate the anticipated and unanticipated faults effectively. The applicability of proposed architecture is demonstrated with a case study.

Of late, component based software design has become a major focus in software engineering research and computing practice. These software components are used in a wide range of applications some of which may have mission critical requirements. In order to achieve required level of reliability, these component-based designs have to incorporate special measures to cope up with software faults. This paper presents a fault tolerant component based data driven architecture that is based on C2 architectural framework and implements data diverse fault tolerance strategies. The proposed design makes a trade-off between platform flexibility, reliability and efficiency at run time and exhibits its ability to tolerate faults in a cost effective manner. Application of proposed design is exhibited with a case study.
