In addition to satisfying the consistency requirement as in traditional database system, real-time database systems must also satisfy timing constraints. In this study we present a virtual run policy for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2006 · 6,908 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
