The agingphenomenon is ubiquitous in all kinds of software systems and hard to eliminate thoroughly. A proactive techniquecalled "software rejuvenation" has been proposed[13] to counter the aging problem and increase the software availabili-ty. In this paper, we systematically investigate the basic motivation, concept and development of software rejuvena-tion, and then, detailedly analyze the main research work on it. At last, a prospect about the future research direc-tions is outlined.展开更多
