TripleAgent : Monitoring, Perturbation and Failure-Obliviousness for Automated Resilience Improvement in Java Applications

• In this paper, we present a novel resilience improvement system for Java applications. The unique feature of this system is to combine automated monitoring, automated perturbation injection, and automated resilience improvement. The latter is achieved thanks to the failure-oblivious computing, a concept introduced in 2004 by Rinard and colleagues. We design and implement the system as agents for the Java virtual machine. We evaluate the system on two real-world applications: a file transfer client and an email server. Our results show that it is possible to automatically improve the resilience of Java applications with respect to uncaught or mishandled exceptions.
