Publications Supervising PHD Students Teaching |
News : since 2020, I am the director of the Master II, MIAGE, track on : "Innovative Information Systems" for English speaking students. First edition of ISCRAMMED was launched in Toulouse. Proceedings are available HERE I am Professor in Computer Science at Toulouse 1 University , and member of the IRIT Laboratory (SMAC Team). My
research interests have been the definition of coordination
models for Agent Oriented Information Systems. Coordination
is seen as a first-class design dimension ensuring
the
coherent and efficient behavior of cooperative agents. Several
coordination techniques have been investigated such as organizational
structuring,
contracting, negotiation and interaction protocols. Coordination
models are described
by means of Petri Nets, known as an adequate formalism for
specifying, simulating and verifying parallel and distributed systems
in a formal way. These models have been applied to several distributed, cooperative, open and
large scale
applications such as crisis management ,
inter-organizational workflow
or
cooperative information gathering.
I have
also been a member of AgentLink, the
ESPRIT-funded
European Network of Excellence in the area of agent-based computing.
From 2008 to January 2020, I was the head of University Toulouse 1 site of the IRIT laboratory. From 2005 to 2009, I was member of the scientific board (conseil scientifique) of Toulouse 1 University. In 2014, I co-founded with my colleagues François Charoy and Frédérick BENABEN the international conference ISCRAMMED. I organised and co-chair the first edition ISCRAMMED2014. I held several invited research positions in Tunisia, since 2005. I also use to cooperate with, welcome and visit colleagues from Algiers, Bucarest, Chicago (USA), Montreal (Canada), Santa Caterina (Brasil), Guadalajara (Mexico), Trondheim (Norway) and Tunisia.
My teaching
interests include multi-agent systems, workflow management, databases
and programming languages.
