“…Globus can be considered as a grid computing framework that offers many services for wide-area application execution to application developers. The Globus heart beat monitor (Hwang and Kesselman 2003; Stelling et al 1999) provides a generic failure detection service designed to be incorporated into distributed system, tools, or applications. Globus enables applications to detect both host/network failure by detecting missing heartbeats.…”

Computational grids are established with the intention of providing shared access to hardware and software based resources with special reference to increased computational capabilities. Fault tolerance is one of the most important issues faced by the computational grids. The main contribution of this survey is the creation of an extended classification of problems that incur in the computational grid environments. The proposed classification will help researchers, developers, and maintainers of grids to understand the types of issues to be anticipated. Moreover, different types of problems, such as omission, interaction, and timing related have been identified that need to be handled on various layers of the computational grid. In this survey, an analysis and examination is also performed pertaining to the fault tolerance and fault detection mechanisms. Our conclusion is that a dependable and reliable grid can only be established when more emphasis is on fault identification. Moreover, our survey reveals that adaptive and intelligent fault identification, and tolerance techniques can improve the dependability of grid working environments.

“…A fail-stop failure implies that the type of failure is a crash failure and the other components (agents) can eventually detect the failure [16]. The failed component makes a permanent transition to a state that allows other components to detect that it has failed [6]. A well-known approach uses a fail-stop processor which stops executing in the event of a failure and maintains an unaffected stable storage [17].…”

“…However we do not consider the problem of security issues with increase in the dependability of the system. Our approach is to design a fail-stop MAS architecture using the idea of an Adaptive Agent Architecture (AAA) with joint intentions for adaptive team behavior rather than individual benefit [22] combined with a stable storage [17] and a fault detection mechanism [6].…”

“…EVENT-BASED FAILURE HANDLERS As mentioned in Section III, the model includes a fault detection mechanism [6] that is tuned to broadcast specific messages when an agent fails. We present a set of fault handling routines that are triggered upon receiving specific messages from other agents in the network.…”

“…We use one of the many existing systems that decouple the design of fault-tolerant applications from the underlying failure detection mechanisms [5]. The basic idea is to be able to trigger an action when a process leaves a computation, and thus determine a transition to a failed state [6]. We use this transition to send specific messages to other agents which in turn execute the EBFHs.…”

A Distributed Combinatorial Auctioning System (DCAS) is a multi-agent system (MAS) where each auctioneer has a set of local bidders and all of them adopt a cooperative strategy in conducting the auction. Any occurrence of failure in the system leads to an unpredictable behavior and hence forcing abandonment of the auction. We systematically analyze the failures occurring in the agents and propose a fail-stop design of the DCAS. We present a set of Event Based Failure Handlers (EBFHs) that are triggered upon receiving specific messages from other agents in the network. We provide a proof of correctness of our approach and analyze the efficiency in terms of the message complexity. We also discuss the different parameters that influence the performance of a given DCAS configuration. We use the framework in which the concepts of basic and extended fairness are used in the bidding process.

cdabrowski@nist.gov SUMMARYIn recent years, grid technology has emerged as an important tool for solving computeintensive problems within the scientific community and in industry. To further the development and adoption of this technology, researchers and practitioners from different disciplines have collaborated to produce standard specifications for implementing largescale, interoperable grid systems. The focus of this activity has been the Open Grid Forum, but other standards development organizations have also produced specifications that are used in grid systems. To date, these specifications have provided the basis for a growing number of operational grid systems used in scientific and industrial applications. However, if the growth of grid technology is to continue, it will be important that grid systems also provide high reliability. In particular, it will be critical to ensure that grid systems are reliable as they continue to grow in scale, exhibit greater dynamism, and become more heterogeneous in composition. Ensuring grid system reliability in turn requires that the specifications used to build these systems fully support reliable grid services. This study surveys work on grid reliability that has been done in recent years and reviews progress made toward achieving these goals. The survey identifies important issues and problems that researchers are working to overcome in order to develop reliability methods for large-scale, heterogeneous, dynamic environments. The survey also illuminates reliability issues relating to standard specifications used in grid systems, identifying existing specifications that may need to be evolved and areas where new specifications are needed to better support reliability.
