Abstract
The absence of fault tolerance mechanisms is a significant deficit of most current distributed simulation in general and of simulation systems based on the high level architecture (HLA) in particular. Depending on failure assumptions, dependability needs, and requirements of the simulation application, a choice of different mechanisms for error detection and error processing may be applied. In this paper we propose a framework for the configuration and integration of fault tolerance mechanisms into HLA federates and federations. The administration and execution of fault tolerant federations is supported by the so-called fault tolerant resource sharing system based on a ressource sharing system previously developed by the authors.
