Guided recovery for web service applications

Web service applications are dynamic, highly distributed, and loosely coupled orchestrations of services which are notoriously difficult to debug. In this paper, we describe a user-guided recovery framework for web services. When behavioural correctness properties (safety and bounded liveness) of an application are violated at runtime, we automatically propose and rank recovery plans which users can then select for execution. For safety violations, such plans essentially involve "going back"
