Lecturer in computer science (section CNU 27) since 1998 atUniversité Savoie Mont Blanc. I'm a permanent lecturer at Polytech Annecy-Chambéry, and do my research at LISTIC on intelligent software systems.

Research topics

 ReGaRD research theme

  • Modeling and analysis of evolving software systems
  • Languages and tools for software processes and architectures
  • Model-driven engineering
  • Distributed intelligent software systems engineering

My research activities during 4 main periods:

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

- 2005-2009: development of methods, tools and computer languages for the re-architecturing of software applications: (1) (meta-)modeling and model-driven engineering; (2) analysis of the evolution of these systems from the point of view of preserving or not preserving non-functional properties using process algebras; (c) visual tools to aid 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 AAP2012EcoCitoyenproject(USMB) in 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-... : Intelligent distributed and adaptive software systems. Co-design of an object-oriented framework for developing adaptive intelligent systems. This software framework based on the "wise object" concept "Wise Object, WO" enables the system to learn autonomously (introspection mechanisms) about: (a) the services it is supposed to render and (b) the way it is used.
