Self-management System Based on Self-healing Mechanism.

Systems designed to be self-healing are able to heal themselves at runtime in response to changing environmental or operational circumstances. Thus, the goal is to avoid catastrophic failure through prompt execution of remedial actions. This paper proposes a self-healing mechanism that monitors, diagnoses and heals its own internal problems using self-awareness as contextual information. The self-management system that encapsulates the self-healing mechanism related to reliability improvement addresses: (1) Monitoring layer, (2) Diagnosis & Decision Layer, and (3) Adaptation Layer, in order to perform self-diagnosis and self-healing. To confirm the effectiveness of self-healing mechanism, practical experiments are conducted with a prototype system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
