Abstract
This work presents an approach to self-healing that deals
with un-handled exceptions within an executing program.
More precisely, we propose an approach based on control
theory that automatically disables system functionalities that
have led to runtime exceptions. This approach requires the
system to be instrumented prior to deployment so that it
can later interact with a supervisor. This supervisor en-
codes the only sequences of actions (method calls) of the
system that are permitted. We describe an implementation
that automatically generates instrumentation for Java sys-
tems and demonstrate the ecacy of this approach through
a comprehensive example.
