Black-box models for restart, reboot and rejuvenation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses black-box models for retries, where no distinction is made between the purpose of the retry. Retries can be used as restart, to improve userobserved performance, as reboot, for fault-tolerance, or as rejuvenation, to treat the aging of the system. The chapter derives stochastic models and shows the results we obtained for optimising moments of the user-observed job completion time as well as the probability of meeting a deadline. The second part of the chapter provides a review of the literature in this area of the past decade. The chapter closes with a discussion of open problems.
