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 functional properties as well as non functional 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).
Another 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.

January 2008 — September 2008 (9 months)

Research internship at Rainbow team, a research group of the I3S laboratory (CNRS), in Sophia-Antipolis.

The subject was: "Towards a Service Product Line for the Grid : Application to Medical Imaging."

(in French : "Vers une ligne de services pour la grille : application à l'imagerie médicale")

Papers accepted at MICCAI-Grid (New York 2008) and SOAPL/SPLC (Limerick 2008) workshop
Master (1st year) Internship

April 2007 — June 2007 (3 months)

The purpose of the internship was to implement Reverse Inheritance (RI) mechanism in Eiffel language. The work consists of implementing:

- an extension of the Eiffel grammar
- an extension of the Eiffel AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
- a compilation from Eiffel with RI to Prolog: the new Eiffel with RI AST is compiled to Prolog. The main benefits are i) to reason in Prolog on the Eiffel with RI or ii) to modify the Eiffel with RI in the Prolog logical space.
- a reification of the Prolog to obtain Eiffel with RI source code

Tools used:
EiffelStudio, GOBO, Prolog, gec, geyacc, gelex
