UBIQUITY ALERT: SELF-HEALING SYSTEMS
Goutam Kumar Saha explains: "Self-healing systems represent a very new
area of research that deals with fault tolerance for dynamic systems.
Self-healing deals with imprecise specification, uncontrolled
environment, and reconfiguration of systems according to their dynamics.
The term "self-healing" denotes the capability of a software system in
dealing with bugs. Fault Tolerance for dependable computing is about
providing the specified service through rigorous design whereas
self-healing is about run-time issues. Software which is capable of
detecting and reacting to its malfunctions, is called self-healing
software."
