Abstract:
Distributed systems, can have a large number of independent hardware components that cooperate and collaborate to achieve a given objective. However, the assurance of the reliability is not evident because each of these components may cease to operate at any time, which result probably error and a failure of the whole system. The goal of this paper is to propose a way to control the continuous operating of a distributed system via a contextaware mechanism.
