Abstract
The authors build a semi-Markov model to describe the software error and recovery process in a large mainframe system. The model is based on low-level error data from the MVS operating system running on an IBM 3081 machine. The semi-Markov model developed provides a quantification of system error characteristics and the interaction between different types of errors. As an example, the authors provide a detailed model and analysis of multiple errors, which constitute approximately 17% of all software errors and result in considerable recovery overhead.
