Abstract

Self-Healing is an emerging exigence for Information Systems where processes are more and more complicated and where many autonomous actors are involved. Self-healing mechanisms can be viewed as a set of automatic recovery actions fired at run-time according to the detected fault. These actions can be at infrastructure level (i.e., transparentl to the process), or they can be defined in the workflow model and executed by the workflow engine. Standard recovery mechanisms provided by Ws-BPEL are not enough to implement with reasonable effort lots of suitable recovery actions. The aim of this paper is to present a Self-Healing plug-in for a Ws-BPEL engine that enhances the ability of a standard engine to provide process-based recovery actions.
