Short biography : 

I defended my Ph.D Thesis in Computer Science at the University of Rennes 1 in January 2000. I did my PhD work in the Solidor research group of IRISA/INRIA on the following subject: Cache cooperative system for large scale distributed information systems on the codirection of Valérie Issarny and Michel Banâtre. I am currently an assistant professorship at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes, France, and i joined the Obasco group to do my research in September 2000. 

Since this date, I integrated a software engineering dimension into my work. I currently focus my research on problems related to the dynamic evolution of the applications. To address this problem, I proposed language solutions based on the Aspect Oriented paradigm.Within my practical domains that are operating systems and networks, I developed the first runtime aspect weaver for the C language : Arachne. My contributions are as well in the operating system domain (improvement performances and security) as in the language domain (definition of new abstractions and improvement of expressiveness of aspect languages).

Actually, I am interesting in autonomic computing and to investigate the required components which would allow the implementation (language, runtime) of complex and large-scale autonomic system. My research encompasses any system that has a high software complexity (distributed, size of code etc.) and is large-scale in terms of size and heterogeneity of resources and software. In this context i propose language support (with the DSL programming approach) for the implementation of self-optimization of autonomic system in a virtualized environment.
