A Scenario of Tolerating Interaction Faults Between Otherwise Correct Systems

Abstract

In this paper, a new scenario for tolerating interaction faults is presented. We also address the problem of designing a system capable of tolerating interaction faults generated by the other system. The scenario and other concepts defined in this paper were discussed with more detail. A system is defined as a pair of sub-systems that use a communication standard to interact. Interaction occurs with the exchange of a sequence of messages, each containing a set of data fields. The system that can exhibit faulty behavior is called the external unit. The other system, which is designed to tolerate faults, is the adaptable unit
