Abstract

Machine learning-driven self-healing systems represent a paradigm shift in software engineering, offering the potential to autonomously detect, diagnose, and recover from failures in real-time, thereby reducing downtime and improving system reliability. These systems leverage the power of machine learning algorithms to learn from historical data, identify anomalous patterns, and predict system failures before they occur. By integrating predictive analytics with automated recovery mechanisms, self-healing systems can autonomously initiate corrective actions, such as restarting services, reallocating resources, or applying patches, without human intervention. This paper explores the role of machine learning in self-healing systems, with a focus on their architecture, applications, and challenges. We discuss how various machine learning techniques, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning, are utilized to enable intelligent fault detection and recovery processes. Furthermore, we evaluate the effectiveness of these systems in different software engineering environments, from cloud computing platforms to distributed systems and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The paper also delves into the benefits of self-healing systems, including reduced operational costs, increased system uptime, and enhanced user experience. However, it also addresses the challenges, such as model accuracy, scalability, and the complexities of integrating machine learning models into legacy systems. The paper concludes by outlining the future directions for self-healing systems, including the integration of deep learning and edge computing for more efficient and scalable solutions.
