Answer 1

What is difference between error fault and failure in distributed system?

Explanation:

Typically, where the word “defect” is used, it refers to a “fault” as defined below. However, different cultures and standards may use somewhat different meanings for these terms, which have led to attempts to define them. Partial definitions taken from standard (IEEE610.12-90) are:

Error: “A difference…between a computed result and the correct result”

Fault: “An incorrect step, process, or data definition in a computer program”

Failure: “The [incorrect] result of a fault”
