With the ever-growing complexity and dynamicity of computer systems, proactive fault
management is an effective approach to enhancing availability. Online failure prediction is …

Software aging is a phenomenon plaguing many long-running complex software systems,
which exhibit performance degradation or an increasing failure rate. Several strategies …

Since the notion of software aging was introduced thirteen years ago, the interest in this
phenomenon has been increasing from both academia and industry. The majority of the …

Several recent studies have reported & examined the phenomenon that long-running
software systems show an increasing failure rate and/or a progressive degradation of their …

Performance and power constraints come together with Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor technology scaling in future Exascale systems. Technology scaling makes …

We present a hierarchical model for the analysis of proactive fault management in the
presence of system resource leaks. At the low level of the model hierarchy is a degradation …

Several studies have been conducted in order to understand the'software
aging'phenomenon. This paper presents the results of an experimental research work …

After 16 years, a significant body of knowledge has been established in the area of Software
Aging and Rejuvenation (SAR). In this paper, we survey papers about SAR that appeared in …

Load tests ensure that software systems are able to perform under the expected workloads.
The current state of load test analysis requires significant manual review of performance …

Recently, measurement-based studies of software systems have proliferated, reflecting an
increasingly empirical focus on system availability, reliability, aging, and fault tolerance …
