The principal goal of this project is to investigate methods for                implementing both load sharing and fault tolerance in distributed               computing systems.  Load sharing methods involve transferring jobs from         heavily loaded nodes in the network to more lightly loaded nodes to             give better service to the users of the system.  Several schemes for            load sharing have been proposed and analyzed.  Fault tolerance methods          involve placing copies of jobs at multiple sites in the network, so             that if a site fails, one of the copies of its jobs can be executed.            This project will investigate the performance of load sharing schemes           in networks in which failures may occur, and the performance of                 combined load sharing and fault tolerance methods.
