A Self-Healing Mechanism for State Machine Based Components
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes a self-healing mechanism for statemachine based distributed components. Each component is composed of two layers: a healing (HL) and a service or functional layer (FL). At least, the functional layer must be implemented according to a statemachine specification. The healing layer has the capacity of monitoring the service layer of the component of witch it is a part and responsible of. In the event of a failure of the functional layer, the healing layer acts on it in terms of states. It will be shown that this mechanism, being consistent with classical faulttolerance strategies, allows the HL to act on the FL in a more precise way than employing an entire software module as a replacement unit. It will be shown also that this mechanism is suitable for hot-swapping software modules.

This paper describes mocas (Model Of Components for Adaptive Systems), a component model which relies on a model execution environment to create software components with self-* cabilities. A mocas component has its structure constrained by a uml profile and its behavior specified with a uml state machine. The state machine is embedded into the component at runtime and executed by an engine. The...

In this paper, we study N-policy for a finite population Bernoulli feedback queueing model for machine repair problem with degraded failure. The running times of the machines between breakdowns have an exponential distribution. The repair times of the machines are independent and identically distributed random variables. If at any time a machine fails, it is sent to the repairman for repairing,...
