....failures (e.g. races) or liveness failures (e.g. deadlocks) Such failures arise from a particular kind of software fault (bug) known as a synchronization fault . Studies have shown that synchronization faults account for a sizeable fraction of observed software faults in concurrent programs [6]. Locating synchronization faults and eliminating them by reprogramming is always the best strategy. However, many systems must maintain availability in spite of software failures. It is, therefore, desirable to be able to bypass a synchronization fault and recover from the resulting failure. This ....

....product is based. This leaves no option but to tolerate the residual faults during its operational phase. 2. Nature of software failures More recently, from the study of field failure data, it has been observed that a large percentage of operational software failures are transient in nature [12, 13, 17], caused by phenomena such as overloads or timing and exception errors [24, 5] A common characteristic of these type of failures is that upon re execution of the software, the failure does not recur. The error condition, which results in the failure, typically manifests itself in the operating ....
