Self-healing papers of interest from SERVICES-I

Right now we don't really have access to these papers so here are just some thoughts on their titles and possibly links to other research each author may have done.


A Semantic Repository for Adaptive Services, Yamine Ait-Ameur

• Possible author webpage link but no listing of publications.
  
• Interesting because title has both "Semantic Repository" and "Adaptive Services". Probably a ontology (OWL-S?) language on top of an existing service description language. Adaptive services could mean anything, but its probably tied down within the service logic itself.
• LinkedIn profile page - they list their application domain as "engineering", interesting.
  

Using Stateful Activities to Facilitate Monitoring and Repair in Workflow Choreographies, J. Eder, J. Mangler, E. Mussi, B. Pernici

• A link to Barbara Pernici on DBLP - lots of data papers, QoS
  
• This paper is probably similar to the existing checkpoint approaches used in DBMS. I'm not exactly sure what a stateful activity is but BPEL provides a mechanism to describe a scope, which in my mind could be used to describe something called a stateful activity, or a transaction.
  

A Practical Framework of Realizing Actuators for Autonomous Fault Management in SOA, Hyun Jung La, Soo Dong Kim

• DBLP link for Hyun Jung La - Lots of "dynamic composition" papers, adapting services, product line engineering
• DBLP link for Soo Dong Kim - LOTS of publications: Software Reusability, Dyamic monitors, dynamic composition
• I liked the concept of "Autonomos Fault Management", mostly because the term stratifies fault management into 2 categories, autonomous being pre-defined or setup so that it can occur without human interaction, and non-automonous being the types of fault handling that requires human interaction and guidance. I have no idea what "Realizing Actuators" introduces though.
• I think I found their research group's webpage, but it doens't look like they upload pdfs of the papers.
  

Self-Diagnosis and Self-Regulation through Performance Monitoring and Tuning, A. Noui-Mehidi

• LinkedIn profile page -
• Self-tuning for optimization, the only other paper I read on this was to configure a workflow engine's number of threads at runtime. Would be interesting to see if there is anything else different than this, (service oriented), but probably not.
  

Enforcing User-Defined Management Logic in Large Scale Systems, Srinath Perera, Dennis Gannon

• Srinath Perera's webpage
• Dennis Gannon's webpage
  
• User-defined management logic sounds exactly like what the preference entries in NeWT are doing. Another phrase for something that we're doing possibly?
