Thesis co-supervision

2001 - 2004 Co-supervision with F. Oquendo of doctoral thesis entitled: "ASL: a language and tools for architectural styles. Contribution to the description of dynamic architectures". Student: Fabien Leymonerie. This thesis is in direct alignment with my research activities on architectural styles. Defended December 15, 2004.

2001 - 2004 Co-supervision with F. Oquendo and L. Scibile (CERN) of doctoral thesis entitled: "Approach and environment based on architectural styles for the development of domain-specific software. Application to the field of particle gas pedal restart supervision". Student : Olivier Ratcliffe. This thesis deals with the application of research results on architectural styles to the design of particle gas pedal control systems. This work is being carried out as part of a collaboration between the laboratory and CERN, and is being applied in the context of the new particle gas pedal under construction at CERN. Defended December 16, 2004.

2002 - 2005 Co-supervision with F. Oquendo, and E. Benoit of the PhD thesis entitled: "Description de styles architecturaux pour les capteurs intelligents". Student: Jérôme Revillard. This thesis deals with the application of research results on architectural styles to the problem of modeling intelligent sensor systems. This work is part of a collaboration with E. Benoit. Defended in October 2005. 2006 - 2010 Co-supervision with S. Ducasse, and H. Verjus of the PhD thesis entitled: "Model-driven architecture extraction". Student: Azadeh Razavizadeh. This thesis focuses on the understanding of software systems, with the aim of extracting high-level abstract representations from code. Defended in October 2010
