Abstract

Present large-scale information technology environments are complex, heterogeneous compositions often affected by unpredictable behavior and poor manageability. This fostered substantial research on designs and techniques that enhance these systems with an autonomous behavior. In this survey, we focus on the self-healing branch of the research and give an overview of the current existing approaches. The survey is introduced by an outline of the origins of self-healing. Based on the principles of autonomic computing and self-adapting system research, we identify self-healing systems’ fundamental principles. The extracted principles support our analysis of the collected approaches. In a final discussion, we summarize the approaches’ common and individual characteristics. A comprehensive tabular overview of the researched material concludes the survey.
