I am an associate professor at the ''Pierre et Marie Curie University'' (UPMC). My research and my teaching both tackle Software Engineering and, in particular, Model Driven Engineering.

Regarding this domain, I strongly work on the collaborative edition of models and the management of model consistency.

My two main contributions are ModelBus (a middleware that addresses model interoperability) and D-Praxis (a solution for dealing with detection of inconsistency).

Model Driven Ingineering (MDE) / Ingénierie Logicielle guidée par les modèles (IDM)

 

Short Bio

I joined the Pierre et Marie Curie University in 2002. I then started to work on Model Driven Engineering.

I have participated to the Modelware project. At this time I contribute to the definition of ModelBus that was a middleware fitted to model interoperability.

I then participated to the Modelplex project where I decided to focus more on collaborative edition of models. I then contribute to the definition of Praxis that is a solution for dealing with model consistency.

I am now participating to the Movida and the Galaxy project that address respectively mutli-view modeling and distributed collaborative model edition.

Since 2002, my teaching was about Software Engineering and Model Driven Engineering. Now, I have to manage the STL-TA master at UPMC.

Brève Bio

Je suis maître de conférences à l’Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) depuis 2002. Ma recherche et mes enseignements portent sur l’ingénierie logicielle et en particulier sur l’ingénierie logicielle guidée par les modèles (IDM).

J’ai participé au projet Modelware dans lequel j’ai eu la charge de définir ModelBus qui était un intergiciel adapté à l’interopérabilité des outils de modélisation.

J’ai ensuite participé au projet Modelplex dans lequel j’ai décidé de me concentrer sur l’édition collaborative de modèles et sur la gestion des incohérences entre modèles. Praxis est la solution que nous sommes en train de développer au Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP6).

Je suis actuellement en train de participer aux projets Movida et Galaxy qui portent respectivement sur les approches multi-vues et sur les environnements répartis d’édition de modèles.

Depuis 2002 mes enseignements se font sur le génie logiciel et sur l’ingénierie logicielle guidée par les modèles. De plus, je suis actuellement le responsable du M2 STL TA à l’UPMC.
