Fault isolation for device drivers
This work explores the principles and practice of isolating low-level device drivers in order to improve OS dependability. In particular, we explore the operations drivers can per...

Unmodified Device Driver Reuse and Improved System Dependability via Virtual Machines
We propose a method to reuse unmodified device drivers and to improve system dependability using virtual machines. We run the unmodified device driver, with its original operating...

Microdrivers: A New Architecture for Device Drivers
Commodity operating systems achieve good performance by running device drivers in-kernel. Unfortunately, this architecture offers poor fault isolation. This paper introduces micro...

Improving the reliability of commodity operating systems
Despite decades of research in extensible operating system technology, extensions such as device drivers remain a significant cause of system failures. In Windows XP, for example,...
