ABSTRACT
Autonomic Computing was introduced to reduce the complexity of managing computing systems; however, the heterogeneous nature existing in most computing systems introduces some difficulty to achieve this target. Moreover, the notion of service as a computing component that seamlessly collaborates with other services in a loosely-coupled manner to perform complicated tasks was introduced by Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA); and then, fertilized by Web Services that added open standards to different roles and operations involved in a community of services; however, in order to gain the expected benefits of Web Services, the latter should be able to survive in normal and abnormal conditions. Our research aims at finding a hyper solution to that two-dimensional problem by allowing both Autonomic Computing and Web Services paradigms to lend each other their distinct features. First, Web Services lend Autonomic Computing the concept of platform-independency; second, Autonomic Computing lends Web Services the attributes providing self-management. The focus of this paper will be on how the self-healing autonomic attribute can be implemented and applied using Web Services.

Towards Autonomic GIPSY
EASE '08: Proceedings of the Fifth IEEE Workshop on Engineering of Autonomic and Autonomous SystemsThe goal of the autonomic GIPSY (AGIPSY) is to make the General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY) capable of self-managing to a far greater extent than it does it now. This paper presents the AGIPSY architecture for autonomic computing based on ...
