| Title: | Fault tolerance in client/server application systems using a smart client approach |
| Authors: | Egonda, Ronald |

| Abstract: | Fault tolerance is the ability to withstand a fault without losing data and guarantees the execution of processes of a computer system to avert system failure. This project was motivated by the availability challenges in the rapid dissemination of information for distributed mission-critical
business applications through fault tolerance. Client systems represent the interface used by application users to interact with systems. To the business clientele, therefore, their importance is
ultimate. They therefore deserve to be armed with greater capacity to provide fault tolerance in the face of a distributed system failure. Although the current client/server paradigm for missioncritical applications is in the direction of thin clients(Hill, 2004 [12]), it is important to build smart clients with greater capacity to intelligently handle partial system failures in line with business logic to enhance application availability. |
