Self-Repairing

Self-Optimization is a Self-* Property, see also Self-Healing. The system is able to discover and correct faults automatically. An example of a self-repairing system is Wikipedia, see for example this introductory article. The self-repair mechanism is to store every single version of the system (and the content), so that every disruptive change can be reverted immediately. In this case the process as a whole is more social than computational, consisting of the corrective actions of many selfless and self-motivated users, which call themselves Wikipedians.
