Distributed BRAKES

During my master studies, I developed a mechanism for the serialization of the execution state of a distributed Java application, called Distributed BRAKES. Distributed BRAKES is an extention of BRAKES, a mechanism for serialization of JVM threads. Distributed BRAKES is portable across standard JVM 's. Any existing Java application programmed by means of a control-flow programming model such as Java RMI can be extended with the Distributed BRAKES functionality. You can download Distributed BRAKES here. Please consult the README file for details.
