Adaptive Software Rejuvenation: Degradation Model and Rejuvenation Scheme

We present a framework of adaptive estimation and rejuvenation of software system performance in the presence of aging sources. The framework specifies that a degradation model not only describe an aging process but also enable the adaptation of model-based performance estimates to on-line measurements of data pertaining to the aging process. The adaptive estimation uses model-based a priori es...
