The University Federico II is the third university in Italy for size and for number of students, after Roma Sapienza and Milan. It is the largest and leading university in the south of Italy, established in 1224 by the German emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Frederick II as the first non-clerical university in Europe.
My research interests are on the fields of software reliability and security, field failure data analysis, and software fault injection, with more 200 publications in international, high-profile journals and conferences, including: ACM Computing Surveys, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Empirical Software Engineering IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, the Annual IEEE/IFIP Intl. Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN), the IEEE Intl. Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE), the European Dependable Computing Conference (EDCC), the IEEE Intl. Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS), the IEEE/ACM Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), the ACM Intl. Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA), and the IEEE/ACM Intl. Conf. on Automated Software Engineering (ASE). A complete list of my publications can be found on Google Scholar link
