Introduction

I am researcher at the Laboratoire d'Informatique en Images et Systèmes d'Information (LIRIS - UMR CNRS 5205) where I lead the Information Retrieval and Management of Distributed Multimedia Information (DRIM) team.

Jointly with Harald Kosch; Professor at the University of Passau, Germany, I lead the  French-German Doctoral College in Multimedia, Distributed and Pervasive Services (MDPS).
Jointly with Ernesto Damiani, Professor at the University of Milan, Italy, I lead the French-Italian Doctoral College in Secure and Collaborative Knowledge Management (GS2C).
These two international doctoral colleges are strongly coordinated.

The general topic of my research activities concerns the management of distributed (multimedia) data, with two target environments: data grids and pervasive (ubiquitous) systems



Topics of interest

In the last few years, I have been especially interested in :
Basically, our research consists in the design of protocols and heuristics for managing distributed (multimedia) data i.e., retrieving, adapting, exchanging, securing, delivering distributed (multimedia) data. In this framework, we argue that data management protocols and heuristics must be designed with respect to the semantics of the data,  the usage patterns, the context information.

Activités de recherche sur la période 2000-2004 describe my research activities during the 2000-2004 period:
and a part of the topics presented above.

Older work is described in the page here.

In old times :-), I did my PhD in the domain of computer vision, more precisely on multimodal image fusion and 3D dynamic imaging of the spine (IMAG/TIMC Lab., Grenoble, France; advisor: Philippe Cinquin).

PhD Students

I had  and I have the pleasure to work with many PhD students whose thesis I (co-)supervise(d):
