Abstract
A method and system for improving reliability and availability in distributed computer applications. The method and system may be used in the context of primary-backup, failover recovery. The method involves software-fault tolerance using technique of structured storage; referral components; and wrappers. The method and system exploit the platform and operating system independence of component object models to allow the dynamic linkage of different component objects, the objects being resident on different inter-linked machines, based on the application requirements at any given point in time.
