[Research Activities] [Education Engineering and Learning Models] [Publications]

Short bio:

Since 2002, I am a Research Scientist in Software Engineering at the computer engineering Lab of Telecom Bretagne. Telecom Bretagne is a leading French educational and research institution (selective Grande Ecole engineering school affiliated to Telecom Institute), CDIO-compliant with an ECTS accreditation (i.e., European Credit Transfer System) and founding member of the European University of Brittany.
I received my Ph.D. degree in Software Architecture from the INRIA Laboratory in Rennes, France (an INRIA research center, i.e. the French Public National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). Simultaneously, I was also a temporary Lecturer in computer engineering at the IFSIC and ENSSAT engineering graduate schools.

Research Activities in Software Engineering

Focus areas:

Designing large and complex software systems: software architecture styles, modeling techniques, distributed software architecture (P2P, mobile code/agents, *-tiers, SOA), Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE), Service Oriented Computing (SOC), middleware;
Modeling: formal approaches, Specification and Verification, elicitation and management of non-functional requirements (NFR), behavioral and non functional property (NFP) analysis methods, illities, NFP-oriented model transformation, metrics for model comparison.

Current Activities:

I am conducting researches on non-functional properties (e.g., security, performance, dependability, scalability), and other quality attributes. Non-functional properties should be tackled as soon as possible in specifications, without neglecting that property dependencies could create inconsistencies.

Ongoing Projects:

Model Driven TOOL Interoperability [2009-] (Telecom Bretagne);
QSoftArch [2006-]: specifying distributed software architectural styles for early quality analysis (Telecom Bretagne);
CAMA [2004-]: Components for Mobile Adaptable Architectures (Telecom Bretagne);

Former Projects:

RA&S [2005-2008]: a research program on spontaneous networks (Telecom Institute):

component model for peer-to-peer overlays in a context-aware middleware for MANETs (pdf);

CADySIMo [2002-05]: Composition and Adaptability in Mobile Environments (ENST Bretagne);
C3DS [1998-2000]: a research project on Control and Coordination of Complex Distributed Services:

4th EU's Framework Programme, long term European ESPRIT project;
architectural description language (ADL) and environment including specification of components, connectors, and runtime requirements for managing agents, workflows, and reconfigurations;

ASTER [1995-2000]: Software Architectures for Distributed Systems (INRIA).

Education Engineering and Learning Models

Focus areas:

Education for engineers, curriculum program design and development, coordination and managment, learning outcomes, technology enhanced learning;
Active and experiental learning style models, project- and work-based learning, professional competencies.

Current Activities:

In connection with those theoretical and practical courses, I investigate problem and project-based learning style models that focus more on the process and reflectivity (e.g., PBL, Dewey experiental education, Mastery learning), both at pedagogical and engineering levels (e.g., APP definition, tutor training).
Since 2003, I am particularly involved in integrating such models in Telecom Bretagne curricula, with a clear focus on student's competency development. I am also attempting to promote the development of those pedagogical models in Technology-enhanced learning.

I am conducing to develop active- and project-pedagogy, competences for engineers, and degrees based on work experience (i.e., French VAE, vocational qualification):

Projects at ENST Bretagne (In French);

I am/was tutor of several Student Engineering Projects and training at B.Sc. and M.Sc. levels;
I was UV-Metiers" co-manager: undergraduate and potsgraduate sessions on personnal development - educational, vocational guidance and careers counseling; accompagning and developing students' competencies through coaching, training sessions, instruments for Human Resources (e.g. portfolio, assessment center exercises, psychometric tests);
I was co-coordinator of M.Sc. Information Systems course;
I have been working with several trainees for internships and for Ph.D.

Former Projects:

LICIP [2003-2009]: Collaborative Engineering and Pedagogical Innovations (Telecom Institute);

CSCW for engineers (e.g. Web2.0, Forge, GanttTools);

INVOCOM [2002-05]: European project on "Internet-based Vocational Training of Communication Students, Engineers, and Technicians";
