Home Publications Research Teaching

I am a professor of computer science in Orl�ans (teaching: IUT, UFR Sciences - research: LIFO). My general interests are in programming language design and implementation, constraint programming, and computational linguistics.

research interests

computational linguistics
Since 1996, when I joined Gert Smolka's team at the Programming Systems Lab at Saarland University (Saarbr�cken, Germany), I have been deeply involved in the development and the applications of constraint formalisms and constraint technology in computational linguistics. My on-going projects are:
Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG)
Extensible Meta-Grammar (XMG)

Mozart/Oz
Also since I joined Gert Smolka's team in 1996, I have been a designer and an implementer of the multiparadigm concurrent contraint programming language Mozart/Oz.

bioinformatics
During 2004-2005, I joined Ralf Blossey's team at IRI (Lille, France) and I worked on the design and implementation of a new language for the modeling and the stochastic simulation of biomolecular systems.
