Despite the use of software engineering best practices and tools, it would be very risky to assume that the software that is developed today is fault-free. Moreover, we have to consider the fact that the software could face unexpected situations not considered during its design. Robustness is a highly desirable and sometimes indispensable software requirement, especially for critical systems, where the consequences of a system failure can be catastrophic. This chapter outlines existing fault tolerance techniques, followed by a discussion of the potential that multiagent systems have to enhance the design of robust, fault-tolerant systems, thereby improving large-scale, critical, and complex system reliability. © 2008 Springer-Verlag London.
