Abstract
Software aging is a phenomenon plaguing many long-running complex software systems, which exhibit performance degradation or an increasing failure rate. Several strategies based on the proactive rejuvenation of the software state have been proposed to counteract software aging and prevent failures. This survey article provides an overview of studies on Software Aging and Rejuvenation (SAR) that have appeared in major journals and conference proceedings, with respect to the statistical approaches that have been used to forecast software aging phenomena and to plan rejuvenation, the kind of systems and aging effects that have been studied, and the techniques that have been proposed to rejuvenate complex software systems. The analysis is useful to identify key results from SAR research, and it is leveraged in this article to highlight trends and open issues.

Optimizing Software Rejuvenation Policies under Interval Reliability Criteria
UIC-ATC '12: Proceedings of the 2012 9th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing and 9th International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted ComputingSoftware aging often affects the performance of software systems and eventually causes them to fail. A complementary approach to handle transient software failures due to the software aging is called software rejuvenation, and can be regarded as a ...
Time and Prediction based Software Rejuvenation Policy
ITCS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Second International Conference on Information Technology and Computer ScienceOperational software systems often experience an “aging” phenomenon, characterized by progressive performance degradation and a sudden hang/crash failure. Software rejuvenation is a proactive fault-tolerance strategy aimed to prevent unexpected outages ...
Software Rejuvenation Strategy Based on Components
WCSE '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Second World Congress on Software Engineering - Volume 01Since Component-Based Software Development technology has been widely used, traditional software rejuvenation strategy seems too rough on solving Component-Software aging, the whole system will be regenerated even only a few components aging, which ...
