Abstract
During the execution of a software application, a user will often create significant data representing the work they are trying to accomplish. Additionally, the act of using the application will create states within that program reflecting the operations performed during use. In many scenarios, this data can be lost through application, system, or network failure. The present invention provides a means for resilience through (a) redirection of program execution in response to failure onto known code paths representing save and/or exit from the program, (b) suspension of the program and restoration after the fault has been repaired, and (c) snapshot of the application state for restoration after the application failure.
