RESUMO

Computing systems are used in a wide variety of applications, from households appliances to satellites and nuclear plants. If products of daily use like televisions, radios and computers are not reliable, then the competitors will probably throw their manufactures out of the market and, consequently they will be subject to heavy losses. By analogy, if a bank has its automated services interrupted by failure in its computing systems, then financial losses may occur, with desastrous consequences. In the case of nuclear plants, a failure in critical computing systems can cause the loss of many life. Thus, reliability is an important requirement for the development of modern computing systems. In such a scenario, it is interesting to investigate ways of integrating forward and backward error recovery mechanisms. Such integration, to be useful, must be simple, effective and non-intrusive. Our work proposes the use of exception handling mechanisms, as found in object oriented programming languages, to integrate these error recovery mechanisms. A programming environment based on objects, atomic actions and exceptions has been used to implement applications, which test our proposal. Finally, such experiments have provided good evidence in favour our integration proposal
