Abstract

Most distributed computing environments today are extremely complex and time-consuming for human administrators to manage. Thus, there is increasing demand for the self-healing and self-diagnosing of problems or errors arising in systems operating within today 's ubiquitous computing environment. This paper proposes a proactive self-healing system that monitors, diagnoses and heals its own internal problems using self-awareness as contextual information. The proposed system consists of Multi-Agents that analyze the log context, error events and resource status in order to perform self-healing and self-diagnosis. To minimize the resources used by the Adapters which monitor the logs in an existing system, we place a single process in memory. By this, we mean a single Monitoring Agent monitors the context of the logs generated by the different system components. For rapid and efficient self-healing, we use a 6-step process. The effectiveness of the proposed system is confirmed through practical experiments conducted with a prototype system
