=title=
Fault Tolerance for Cluster Computing Based on Functional Tasks
=abstract=
  We have extended the parallel computer algebra system Distributed Maple by
  fault tolerance mechanisms such that computations are not any more limited
  by the meantime between failures. This is complicated by the fact that task
  arguments and results may embed task handles and that the system's
  scheduling layer has only a little information about the computing layer.
  Nevertheless, the mostly functional parallel programming model makes it
  possible with relatively simple means.
