The dynamism of web service on the internet brings new needs to build autonomous services. In practical environments, Web services could occur many incidents with unacceptable information and generate a large number of undesirable solutions. Thus, it becomes an additionally urgent challenge on how to adjust service-based applications to meet highly dynamic environments and fast-changing business requirements. A self-reconfigurable application becomes a necessity to produce an adequate web service process. To cope with this hindrance, the present paper proposes a sensor and repair-based algorithm to achieve reliability at the component level before a system crash occurs. We adopt a new sensor method based on project management rules to detect the faulty region on a workflow. After that, we applied the repair algorithm: such as a single service (SSR) and multiple service reconfiguration (MSR) that systematically search to find a new nearby solution. In MSR algorithm we referred to a new multi-level VCSOP with Harmony Search (HS) metaheuristic to quickly recover the faulty region without system crash. The results show that our proposed method could recover the original instance of the faulty region without user integration and in a very acceptable time regarding the recomposing process.
