Abstract:
1. A computing unit that is provided with a storage device and that is connected with another computing unit via an information transmission medium in a mutually communicable manner, wherein the storage device stores an operating system, middleware, a software component, and an intermediary component, wherein the intermediary component, which is interposed between the software component and the operating system and which serves as a parent process of the software component, instruct a computer to launch the software component as a child process and to output abnormality information for the software component to the middleware that manages availability of the software component, wherein the operating system instructs the computer to monitor a running status of the software component and to report the abnormality information to the intermediary component in the case in which an abnormality is detected in the software component, and the middleware instructs the computer to report the abnormality information acquired via the intermediary component for the software component to the other computing unit in which a software component that is the same as the software component running in the computing unit in which the abnormality is detected is run; to monitor a running status of the computing unit as dead or alive information for the computing unit; to report the dead or alive information to the other computing unit in which a software component that is the same as the software component running in the computing unit which is related to the dead or alive information is run; and to report the abnormality information for the software component and the dead or alive information for the computing unit by the computer to the other computing unit, individually.
