    Abstract

    Writing a perfectly correct code is a challenging and a nearly impossible task, In this work we suggest the recovery oriented programming paradigm in order to cope with eventual Byzantine programs. The program specification composer enforces the program specifications (both the safety and the liveness properties) in run time using predicates over input and output variables. The component programmer will use these variables in the program implementation. We suggest using the "sand-box" approach in which every instruction of the program that changes a specification variable, is executed first with temporary variables and that is in order to avoid execution of an instruction that violates the specifications. In addition, external monitoring is used for coping with transient faults and for ensuring convergence to a legal state. The implementation of these ideas includes the definition of new instructions in the programming language with the purpose of allowing addition of predicates and recovery actions. We suggest a design for a tool that extends the Java programming language. In addition to that, we provide a correctness proof scheme for proving that the code combined with the predicates and the recovery actions is self-stabilizing and, under the restartability assumption, eventually fulfills its specifications.
