    312312The Self-healing service in the Check framework overlays the self-healing capabilities provided by the stack running on the nodes. The latter continuously ensures a correct topology of the island. The Self-healing service however understands more complex notions, such as constraints.

    328328Some packages are required to be installed prior to the compilation of the Self-healing service, as the Boost library for C++ is used. At the time of the creation of the code, the Ubuntu repositories hold an older version of the Boost library, which does not contain the Property Tree feature. So the sources of the library should be downloaded and compiled. Download version 1.44.0 from [http://www.boost.org/users/download/ download site].

     359== Demo ==
     360
     361For demo purposes, we have build two islands, using Raven and Sparrow nodes, each of the islands being connected through a SAM7X edge router to the gateway running on PC. For our demo scenario, let's suppose the two islands are adjacent (e.g. in the same building), although they really were hundreds of kilometers away, one in Bucharest and one in Dresden. Also let's imagine that we need to measure the mean temperature of the area covered by the islands.

     363=== Configuration ===
     364
     365The Self-healing service becomes aware of the islands being monitored using a flexible and standard compliant xml file. For this demo, a sample config.xml file is provided:
     366
     367[[Image(sh-config.png, center)]]
     368
     369The main entities described in the config.xml are:
     370* islands: each island is characterized by a name, its URL and a node name prefix
     371* services: the temperature service is described at a general level, with cross-island information, such as the constraints that need to be fulfilled to run that particular service (for our example, we consider that there need to be at least two nodes to obtain a mean temperature).
     372* island-service: the entities that connect islands and services, describing for each island the particularities that govern the service in that island, such as the URL of the resource on the nodes (in this case it is "temp" in both islands).
