Japan Long-Term Visit: Distributed and Fault-Tolerant Computing

该奖项将支持理查德博士。大学的Schlichting 亚利桑那州进行为期七个月的合作研究， 东京工业大学的片山拓也博士。 他们将 研究涉及的高级设计过程， 容错分布式系统，并将尝试开始 发展方案拟订环境，以便利执行 和测试用于这种系统的软件。 分布式系统中特别感兴趣的问题包括， 分布式混合语言编程的构造; 制定一个高级别的方法来处理混合 编程语言;和容错程序的验证。 这些问题，除其他外，将在这项研究中解决。 日本合作者在语言翻译方面的专业知识， 软件设计和编程环境将有力地补充 美国首席研究员在分布式和故障方面的专业知识- 容错计算，以及正在进行的分布式计算项目。 东京工业大学将协同努力， 这项工作的成功。

This award will support Dr. Richard D. Schlichting of the University of Arizona to conduct collaborative research for seven months with Dr. Takuya Katayama of the Tokyo Institute of Technology. They will investigate the high-level design processes that are involved in fault-tolerant distributed systems, and will attempt to begin development of a programming environment to facilitate implementation and testing of software for such systems. Problems of particular interest in distributed systems include that of the construction of distributed mixed-language programming; the development of a high-level approach to handling failure in mixed programming languages; and the validation of fault-tolerant programs. These problems, among others, will be addressed in this research. The Japanese collaborator's expertise in language translation, software design, and programming environments will strongly complement the U.S. Principal Investigator's expertise in distributed and fault- tolerant computing, and ongoing projects in distributed computing at the Tokyo Institute of Technology will synergistically contribute to the success of this work.
