Modeling and Analysis of Software Aging and Rejuvenation

Software systems are known to suffer from outages due to transient errors. Recently, the phenomenon of “software aging”, one in which the state of the software system degrades with time, has been reported. To counteract this phenomenon,a proactive approach of fault management, called “software rejuvenation”, has been proposed. This essentially involves gracefully terminating an application or a...
