Yvon's current R&D activities: 

• software architecture and reuse issues
• service oriented archiecture : service description, indexation and composition 

Yvon's past R&D activities: 

• IST CANDLE: a very challenging project in a European context to provide a platform and content for distance learning education in telecommunications. This project is done with 9 well known academic partners and two key industry players (BT and Siemens). Yvon is the lead of a workspackage devoted to user's interfaces.
• RAM QoS with France Telecom R&D. Please access Martin's website to know more.
• Amarrage (Active networks) within the RNTL context
• DCE as a support for distributed system programming (its evaluation is being done in conjunction with the Research Labs of France Telecom - CNET). The aim of this project was to evaluate OSF DCE in heavy situations : e.g., a server is saturated with numerous clients' requests.
• GNAT : GNU New York University Ada Translator. The collaboration involves ENST Paris, New York University, Texas A&M University at College Station and targets the implementation of the distributed systems annex of Ada 95. The GLADE system is available now. ACT Europe offers commercial support for GNAT in Europe.
