FT-OSGi: Fault-Tolerance extensions for the OSGi Service Platform


Tese submetida para provas de mestrado em Engenharia Informática e de Computadores Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa.

Abstract

The OSGi Service Platform defines a framework for the deployment of extensible and downloadable Java applications. This framework also defines a service-oriented architecture (SOA) for applications, allowing a better module decoupling and reusability. Since many of the application areas for OSGi have significant dependability requirements, the main goal of this dissertation is to increase the dependability of OSGi applications. Furthermore, it aims at supporting different fault tolerance levels, according to the specific needs of each OSGi service. Thus, this dissertation proposes a set of extensions to the OSGi Service Platform that allow to replicate OSGi services, that we have named FT-OSGi. FT-OSGi supports multiple replication strategies, allowing to apply a different replication strategy to each OSGi service. FT-OSGi has been implemented and evaluated experimentally.
