At the same time, software rejuvenation also can incur an overhead which should be balanced against the loss incurred due to unexpected outage caused by a failure. Thus, e?ective rejuvenation depends on the right time. The time to rejuvenate is usually estimated based on the collection and statistical analysis of the values of aging related system parameters. However, to our knowledge, there is no work on systematically identifying the aging related 基金项目： Ph.D. Programs Foundation of Ministry of Education of China (No. 20110201110007) 作者简介： Di Wu，male，graduate student，major research direction：software engineering.
