Abstract
A method of enhancing software dependability, includes measuring an elapsed time in a software system running on a computer, determining whether the elapsed time matches a threshold, and when the elapsed time matches the threshold, rejuvenating at least a portion of the software system to reduce the likelihood of an outage and without modifying an application running in the software system.
