This is going in another direction as the cited article, but there are aspects when it comes to software aging and software rejuvenation for high availability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rejuvenation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rejuvenation There were some interesting reads in the AT&T Technical Journals for the 5ESS switches (e.g. Kintala, Bernstein , Wang “Components for Software Fault Tolerance and Rejuvenation”) a long time ago. The journals are not free accessible, but I have found another text from one of the authors about the same topic http://www.crosstalkonline.org/storage/issue-archives/2004/200408/200408-Bernstein.pdf http://www.crosstalkonline.org/storage/issue-archives/2004/2...
