Achieving Fault-Tolerant Software with Rejuvenation and Reconfiguration

The authors present two complementary ways to deal with soft-ware aging. Their approach pro-actively reinitializes software to a known operating state, before failure occurs, or reactively reconfigures soft-ware after a failure such that service remains operational.
