Abstract
The primary objective in this chapter is to describe a systematization of aspects and terminology of fault tolerance applied to distributed systems and, more specifically, to distributed, computerized manufacturing systems. The purpose of this is to facilitate the transition from manual manufacturing systems to computerized manufacturing systems.Until recently a system designer has considered such aspects as:
-
1.
how to obtain good economy,
-
2.
how to obtain the correct product quality,
-
3.
how to obtain the maximum throughput,
-
4.
how to obtain the maximum flexibility, and
-
5.
how to minimize the amount of time during which a system does not produce.
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
