Towards Adaptive Fault-Tolerance For Distributed Multi-Agent Systems
Résumé
This paper studies how to bring flexibilityto fault-tolerant systems. Firstly, multi-agent systems are identified as a very valuable basis for reaching this goal,and reliability is also shown to be a rare and attractive feature for such systems. We then propose a frameworkfor building applications that provide adaptive fault tolerance, and put forward the promising results obtainedwhen testing the implementation of this framework. We conclude with drawing some perspectives of evolution ofour work.
