Abstract
Developing a fault-tolerant system require the use of the fault prevention techniques, fault recovery techniques and fault tolerance techniques. In this paper we are going to present a technique which predicts fault occurrence in multi-agent systems. It consists on the identification of critical tasks and the set up of a rule base which defines the situations guiding to break down a running multi-agent system.
