Operating System reliability. Dominant cause of Operating System failures is mainly due to bugs within device drivers, thus understanding how device drivers fail, and how to develop countermeasures are important challenges to face with.

Virtualization technologies. Nowadays, virtualization technologies are exploit in many fields, e.g. cloud computing, data center, server consolidation and so on. Virtualization technologies are an important layer in these infrastructures. Thus, reliability in such layer is an important research area, and is a big challenge due to its complexity.

Cloud Computing Reliability Cloud computing is an important enabler technologies for IT industry, e.g. in emerging new network virtualization paradigms like NFV (Network Function Virtualization). Since Cloud computing infrastructures are very complex and almost all components are out of our control, is needed the developing of techniques that aims to improve the overall reliability of such infrastructures.
