Abstract:
1. A failure recovery apparatus comprising: a rule storage for storing a failure countermeasure rule which describes a failure type and a countermeasure command corresponding to said failure type; and a failure knowledge storage for storing failure knowledge information, which describes a failure type and countermeasure command selection information; wherein when a failure occurring in a service executor matches a failure described in said failure countermeasure rule in said rule storage, a countermeasure command in a matched failure countermeasure rule is read out of said rule storage and is executed on said service executor; wherein when there is not a match, it is decided whether or not a failure occurring in said service executor matches a failure described in failure knowledge information in said failure knowledge storage; wherein when there is a match, a countermeasure command is selected from said rule storage based on countermeasure command selection information corresponding to the matched failure knowledge information and is executed on said service executor.
