Abstract

NAP is a protocol for supporting fault-tolerance in intinerant computations. It employs a form of failure detection and recovery, and it generalizes the primary-backup approach to a new compuational model. The guarantees offered by NAP as well as an implementation for NAP in Tacoma are discussed.
