Research Interests

We have been working on different but related topics which can be summarized into 
“Software Systems Engineering and Management: modeling, design, upgrade, validation and testing for IoT, Cloud, 
Communication protocols/services and Networks taking into account their availability and reliability.”

We are involved in STARaCOM, an FRQNT regroupement stratégique.
