Abstract

The vision of Interoperable Government is currently dependant on Service Oriented Architecture. Although the current trend of interoperability between different Government departments is going to increase in an exponential rate with the rolling out of Unique ID project but it will also lead to an unmanaged, complex, expensive integration of the departments. The concept of a “Centralizes Service Repository” to manage, bind, redirect for interoperability between various departments as a service router is coming out. This concept may solve the issues of manageability but lead to another kind of challenges. As the “Centralizes Service Repository” is the integration point of all the services so as to maintain its fault tolerance, robustness, crash proof nature, the same should be under the focus of research community. In this paper some possible solutions in the context of implementing evolutionary Self Healing System to make “Centralizes Service Repository” a robust, crash proof, reduced down time and self recoverable system have been outlined. During the process of service binding, failure can happen at any of the interoperable point. A system may unable to find a service due to network or server failure as a result of which it may crash. In this type of scenario, the evolutionary Self Healing System concept can play a major role by modifying the process to obtain the “same” results, but in a different way, that is, through a different composition of available services. A Self Healing System can be implemented to provide alternatives through three strategies called retry, rebind, and restructure.
