Abstract
Collective Adaptive Systems support the interaction and adaptation of virtual and physical entities towards achieving common objectives. For these systems, several challenges at the modeling, provisioning, and execution phases arise. In this position paper, we define the necessary underpinning concepts and identify requirements towards ensuring high availability in such systems. More specifically, based on a scenario from the EU Project ALLOW Ensembles, we identify the necessary requirements and derive an architectural approach that aims at ensuring high availability by combining active workflow replication, service selection, and dynamic compensation techniques.
