Johannesburg 1990. / This thesis studies fault tolerant strategies for real-time distributed computer control
systems so as to propose an error recovery technique that renders individual processors
on the network resistant to soft failures. The technique is effective for soft failures
which have as certain maximum duration, and does not require the use of specialised
hardware. Attention is focused on achieving resistance to soft failures in environments
which have demanding time constraints such as those found in computer systems for
process control, materials handling and automated manufacturing. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]
