Abstract

The increased complexity of hardware and software resources and the asynchronous interaction among components (such as servers, end devices, network, services and software) make fault detection and recovery very challenging. In this paper, we present innovative concepts for fault detection, root cause analysis and self-healing architectures analyzing the duration of pattern transition sequences during an execution window. In this approach, all interactions among components of Pervasive Computing Systems (PCS) are monitored and analyzed. We use three-dimensional array of features to capture spatial and temporal variability to be used by an anomaly analysis engine to immediately generate an alert when abnormal behavior pattern is captured indicating some kind of software or hardware failure. The main contributions of this paper include the innovative analysis methodology and feature selection to detect and identify anomalous behavior. Evaluating the effectiveness of this approach to detect faults injected asynchronously shows a detection rate of above 99.9% with no occurrences of false alarms for a wide range of scenarios.
