In this paper, we use software rejuvenation as a preventive and proactive fault-tolerance technique to maximize the level of reliability for continuous and safety critical systems. We take both transient faults caused by software aging effects and network transmission faults into consideration and mathematically analyze the optimal software rejuvenation period that maximizes system’s reliability. The theoretical result is verified through empirical studies.
