Abstract: Preventive maintenance of operational software systems, a novel technique for software fault tolerance, is used specifically to counteract the phenomenon of software "aging". However, it incurs some overhead. The necessity to do preventive maintenance not only in general purpose software systems of mass use but also in safety-critical and highly available systems clearly indicates the need to follow an analysis based approach to determine the optimal times to perform preventive maintenance. In ... (Update)

...rejuvenation strategies: the first rejuvenates in fixed intervals, and the second delays until there are no transactions in the queue. In [7] an analytical MRSPN model for transaction based software which experiences aging and employs preventive maintenance is introduced. This...
