Ubiquitous computing devices recently are increasing requirements of high-level performance management automation, and therefore a system management is changing from a conventional central administration to autonomic computing. Many research centers are conducting various studies on self-healing method. However, most existing research focuses on healing after a system error has already occurred...

One of the main objectives of self-adaptive systems is to reduce maintenance costs through automatic adaptation. Self-healing is a self-adapting property that helps systems return to a normal state after a fault or vulnerability exploit has been detected. The problem is intuitively appealing as a way to automate the different type of maintenance processes (corrective, adaptive and perfective) a...

Disturbances to a system are inevitable. Resilience is thus utmost necessary to the system as it has to respond to the stresses and disturbances to keep the system stable. Cyber physical systems are physical engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing communication core which is expected to transform the physical world around us. This...

In this paper, we propose a novel self-healing approach for a computer system based on Back-Doors (BD), a system architecture that allows monitoring and repair actions to be performed on a remote operating system or application image without using remote CPU cycles. The key ingredient of the Back-Door architecture is the Remote Memory Communication (RMC) technology provided by standards like Vi...
