Mathieu Acher’s Summary

I am a PhD Student in Computer Science at University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, working in the Modalis team (formerly Rainbow team), a research group of the I3S/CNRS laboratory.
Part of my research work deals with Grid computing and large-scale infrastructure : in a service oriented architecture (SOA), I try to capture commonality and high variability of Grid services (i.e functionnal properties as well as non functionnal properties), using Model Driven Enginerring (MDE) techniques and Software Product Line (SPL) approach.
The research purpose is to ease the composition of services (e.g through workflows), their deployments and their executions on different infrastructures, considering various properties, especially quality of service (QoS).
An other domain and kind of application targeted is Video Surveillance Systems: how to manage the complexity of such SPLs and assist stakeholders in building consistent processing chains?

In this context, I want to propose methods, techniques and tools to the development of MDE-based SPLs.

  Eiffel RI
  
  reverse inheritance (RI) mechanism implemented in Eiffel language
  
  - extension of the Eiffel grammar
  - extension of the Eiffel AST
  - compilation to Prolog (i.e the new Eiffel AST with reverse inheritance is compiled to Prolog)
  - transformation of the Prolog previously generated to Eiffel RI (i.e refind the original Eiffel source with reverse inheritance using the Prolog)
  
  Tools :
  EiffelStudio, GOBO, Prolog, gec, geyacc, gelex
