Abstract :
Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is one of the emerging standards for distributed objects. Before DCOM can be used to build mission-critical applications, the reliability and availability issues must be addressed. In this position paper, we outline the current research directions of the InterCOM project, which exploits the dynamic behavior, the extensible architecture, and the component software model of DCOM to provide fault tolerance capabilities to distributed applications
