Abstract Service-oriented architectures and microservices define two ways of designing
software with the aim of dividing an application into loosely-coupled services that …

In the past, some research has been done on how to use proactive recovery to build
intrusion-tolerant replicated systems that are resilient to any number of faults, as long as …

Previous works have studied how to use proactive recovery to build intrusion-tolerant
replicated systems that are resilient to any number of faults, as long as recoveries are faster …

Background Thanks to the advancement of technology in the late 20th Century, particularly

Failure diagnosis is the process of identifying the causes of impairment in a system's
function based on observable symptoms, ie, determining which fault led to an observed …

Self-healing, ie the capability of a system to autonomously detect failures and recover from
them, is a very attractive property that may enable large-scale software systems, aimed at …

Microservices represent a popular paradigm to construct large-scale applications in many
domains thanks to benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and agility. However, it is difficult to …
