Short Biography

I got my PhD in computer science from the Université de Rennes 1, in November 1991, where I proposed an exception handling model for concurrent programming. During my PhD, I was working in the LSP (Langages et systèmes parallèles) project-team at INRIA-IRISA in Rennes, and I participated to the design and implementation of a distributed object-based programming system, called Gothic.

After my PhD, I spent a one year postdoc at the University of Washington where I worked in the Opal research activity, which addressed the design and implementation of a single address space operating system.

From 1993 until 2001, I have been an INRIA researcher within the Solidor project-team, examining solutions to the construction of robust and efficient distributed systems. In October 1997, I got my Habilitation à diriger des recherches in computer science from the Université de Rennes 1. From 1993 until mid-1999, I have been working at INRIA-IRISA, I am now working at INRIA-Paris-Rocquencourt.

Since 2002, I am leading the ARLES project-team, which investigates solutions to architecture-based development of ambient intelligence systems.

Current Research Activities

My research activities are aimed at providing solutions to the robust construction of distributed systems. Towards that goal, I am investigating solutions to the construction of distributed systems, based on software architecture description, including elicitation of supporting middleware architectures abstracting advanced networking environment. My current research work is more specifically centered around the development of distributed systems enabling ambient intelligence applications and exploiting latest wireless technologies. Further information about the research activities to which I participe may be found from the ARLES Research Page.
