Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of this research, I showed that it is possible to migrate user processes by combining data transfer between kernels with data created by system call, and confirmed the new fault detection method in multiple virtual machine environments. However, I could not solve some of the issues raised at the time of application, because the kernel data structure depending on the kernel version was more complicated than originally expected. Especially the virtual environment could not be constructed sufficiently.
