Abstract: Aiming at the memory leak system level problems, This paper establishes the model about related issues of finite state automata, and designs a self-healing mechanism for memory leak. The mechanism reflects a  hypothesis of the problem of leak based on the system performance metrics. Based on the hypothesis, we complete the detection, diagnosis and recovery of the memory leak in OS. The results of experiments show the validity of the hypothesis and the effectiveness of the self-healing mechanism

Key words: finite state automata, model, detection, diagnosis, recovery
