Recovery-Oriented Computing

'''Recovery Oriented Computing''' (ROC) was started as a joint Berkeley/Stanford project in order to investigate novel techniques for building highly-dependable Internet services [http://roc.cs.berkeley.edu/]. Contrary to traditional fault-tolerance approaches in distributed systems, ROC doest not assume that total avoidance and prediction of failures is possible. The philosophy of ROC is to accept the fact that failures will happen, but to be well prepared to recover quickly. It emphasizes fast recovery from failures rather than complete failure-avoidance.
