Summary :

In this paper, we consider the similar software cost models with periodic rejuvenation to Garg, Puliafito, Telek and Trivedi (1995) under the cost effectiveness criteria. First, an alternative model as well as the original one are analyzed by Markov regenerative processes. We derive analytically the optimal periodic software rejuvenation policies which maximize the cost-effectiveness in the steady state for two models. Further, we develop statistical non-parametric algorithms to estimate the optimal software rejuvenation policies, provided that the sample data to characterize the system failure times are given. Then, the total time on test (TTT) concept is used. In numerical examples, we compare the periodic software rejuvenation policy with the non-periodic one, and investigate the asymptotic properties of the non-parametric estimators for the optimal software rejuvenation policies through a simulation experiment.
