Abstract:
In recent years, the use of component-based systems has become increasingly large in the daily life such as domestic applications. In addition, the diversity and the dynamic components that can build them make this type of system very awareness. For this reason, the assurance of dependability and safety execution are required in order to propose a better system performance and the best user satisfaction by providing services continuity which consequently leads to reliability. That is really a challenge problem. Our goal in this paper is to propose an adaptation mechanism, based on the mirror services, to make such a system more efficient, and thus, more and more operational, even the existence of faults in it. To this end, the fault tolerance is a good solution. So, the contribution in this paper is based on a set of algorithms that will be employed by a set of local agents controllers and one global agent controller.
