Distributed computing systems typically consist of large numbers of heterogeneous computing devices connected by communication networks, various operating system resources and services, and user applications running on them. These resources and applications are becoming indispensable to many enterprises, but as distributed systems become larger and more complex, more things can go wrong, potentially interrupting or crippling critical operations. Thus management support is often cited by end users as the single most important aspect of a distributed system. Management issues at the network and systems levels have received a great deal of attention but the same thing cannot be said for the application level. My research is aimed at bringing principles of software engineering, distributed systems and fault tolerance to bear on this problem.
