Abstract :
In this paper we describe several methods for detecting the need for software rejuvenation in mission critical systems that are subjected to worm infection. We introduce a new software rejuvenation algorithm that tracks both the state of the mission and the customer affecting metric, response time. We evaluate the probability of mission success of several different software rejuvenation algorithms using simulation.
