Software Aging and Rejuvenation for Increased Resilience: Modeling, Analysis and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software aging and rejuvenation research has shown that the application of approaches for software aging modeling, monitoring, and rejuvenation has the potential to significantly increase software resilience. In this chapter, we present an overview of important analytical models and measurement approaches for software aging and rejuvenation. We start by describing the Markov based approaches and renewal process based approaches for software aging and rejuvenation modeling. In addition, we present measurement based approaches using both online and offline methods for software rejuvenation. We conclude by presenting a categorization of the approaches and by presenting a brief overview of applicability of each of the approaches presented in this chapter.

Robust and Adaptive Modeling of Software Aging
1. Introduction The widespread phenomenon of software (image) aging is known to cause performance degradation, transient failures or even crashes of applications. This undesired behavior is especially visible in long-running software such as web and application servers and enterprise always-on applications-software deployed frequently in Grid and utility computing environments. The management c...

متن کاملMSET Performance Optimization for Detection of Software Aging
Software aging [2] is a phenomenon observed in a software application executing continuously for a long period of time, where exhaustion of operating system resources (memory leaks), data corruption and numerical error accumulation eventually lead to performance degradation, hang/crash failures or both. To counteract this problem, Huang et al. [2] proposed the technique of software rejuvenation...
متن کاملModeling 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...
