Abstract

The authors consider the tolerance of data structures to memory faults. They observe that many pointer-based data structures (e.g. linked lists, trees, etc.) are highly nonresilient to faults. A single fault in a linked list or tree may result in the loss of the entire set of data. They present a formal framework for studying the fault tolerance properties of pointer-based data structures, and provide fault tolerant versions of the stack, the linked list, and the dictionary tree
