Lecturer in computer science (CNU section 27) since 1998 at the University of Savoie Mont Blanc. I am a permanent lecturer at Polytech Annecy-Chambéry, and conduct my research at LISTIC on intelligent software systems.

Research topics

 ReGaRD research topic

  • Modeling and analysis of scalable software systems
  • Languages and tools for software processes and architectures
  • Model-driven engineering
  • Engineering of intelligent distributed software systems

My research activities during four main periods:

– 1998-2005: use of formal approaches to describe, analyze, implement, and develop software processes and architectures: (a) modal logic approaches, higher-order rewriting; (b) process algebra (pi-calculus in particular).

– 2005-2009: development of methods, tools, and computer languages for the re-architecting of software applications: (1) (meta-)modeling and model-driven engineering; (2) analysis of the evolution of these systems from the point of view of the preservation or non-preservation of non-functional properties using process algebras; (c) visual tools to assist in the remodularization of object source code architectures using heuristic methods.

– 2009-2015: participation in the FUI OpenCloudware project to define an executable language for describing service-oriented cloud architectures;leader of the AAP2012EcoCitoyen (USMB)projectin collaboration with Italian colleagues on approaches based on Markov Decision Processes and their potential use in modeling the behavior of users of a home automation system.

– 2015-present: distributed and adaptive intelligent software systems. Co-design of an object-oriented framework for developing adaptive intelligent systems. This software framework, based on the concept of "Wise Objects" (WO), enables the system to learn autonomously (introspection mechanisms) about: (a) the services it is supposed to provide and (b) how it is used.
