A Self-healing infrastructure allows to observe the behavior of a system, determining its health status, and applying measures to restore the correct state of the application. In recent years our work has focused on the design and implementation of Self-healing architectures, which support applications based on Web Services (WS). This paper presents an improved Self-healing architecture, which proposes a distributed control in its components. The results obtained by applying this new Self-healing architecture to a distributed Digital Library application show a trend towards a better availability of resources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
