Youakim Badr received a
Master of Science degree in Mathematical Modeling and Scientific
Software Engineering in 1997 from University Agency of Francophone (AUF)
and in 2003, a Doctorate in Information Systems from the French National
Institute for Applied Sciences in Lyon (INSA of Lyon). In 2004, he
joined the faculty of the INSA of Lyon as Assistant Professor of
Computer Science. He teaches in both the Department of Computer
Engineering and the Department of Industrial Engineering. He also
contributes largely to the INSA’s new International Master Program in
Information Systems and represents the Industrial Engineering Department
abroad through his work in international relations. He has taught on
many subjects including Project Management, Enterprise Application
Integration (EAI), Management and Design of Information Systems and
Networking.
Dr. Badr has worked extensively in the field of coupling XML documents
and Object-Relational Databases. Through his research he has acquired
skills in fields such as Interoperability, Modeling, System
Architectures and Networking, and their application to various domains
such as Business Processes, Supply Chains, Productions Systems, Virtual
Enterprises and e-commerce. His current academic research interests
include systems in both the service sector and ICT. In particular, he
studies the ecosystem of services and the multidisciplinary modeling
approach to design services through the integration of ICT, strategy and
processes. He leads the Service-Oriented Enterprise research team which
combines industrial and computer engineering approaches. In this
context, he co-supervises several graduate students and actively
participates in national and international projects (COPILOTES,
INTERPROD, SEMEUSE, SIMSYPROD, etc.).
Dr. Badr is vigorously involved in a series of international
conferences. He served as General Co-Chair of ICDIM'07, CSTST’08 and the
Web Technology Track of SAC 2008, and International Program Member of
IAS’08, NOTERE’08, SITIS’07, JFO’07, WCNC’07 and ECWS’06. He also serves
as a reviewer for various conferences and journals, namely ACM Computing
Reviews, Scientific Journals International, the Journal of
Service-Oriented Computing and Applications. He is a professional member
of ACM, IEEE Services Computing Community, a member of OW2 and the
Service Sciences working group of the Networked European Software and
Services Initiative (NESSI).

Patrick Siarry was born in France in 1952. He received the
PhD degree from the University Paris 6, in 1986 and the Doctorate of
Sciences (Habilitation) from the University Paris 11, in 1994. He was
first involved in the development of analog and digital models of
nuclear power plants at Electricité de France (E.D.F.). Since 1995 he is
a professor in automatics and informatics. His main research interests
are the applications of new stochastic global optimization heuristics to
various engineering fields. He is also interested in the fitting of
process models to experimental data and the learning of fuzzy rule bases
and neural networks. |

Graduated in fundamental physics in June 1985 from PARIS 7 – Jussieu
University. He received his MSc. in Microelectronics and chip
architecture from University PARIS 11 (PARIS-SUD), Orsay, France, in
September 1986. Received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Sciences from University PARIS 11 (PARIS-SUD), Orsay, France,
in February 1990. From 1989 to 1990, he worked as assistant professor at
Institut d’Electronique Fondamentale (Institute of Fundamental
Electronics) of PARIS 11 University and CNRS (National Center of
Scientific Research), Orsay, France.
In 1990, he joined Creteil-Senart Institute of
Technology of University PARIS 12 – Val de Marne, Lieusaint, France,
where he worked from 1990 to 1998 as assistant professor. In 1995, he
received the DHDR Doctor Hab. degree (senior research doctorate degree)
from University PARIS 12 – Val de Marne. Since 1998 he works as
Chair Professor in Electrical Engineering of Senart Institute of
Technology of University PARIS XII – Val de Marne.
From 1992 to 2000 he has been head creator and head of
DRN (Neural Networks Division) research group. From 2001 to 2004 he has
been head of Intelligence in Instrumentation and Systems Laboratory of
PARIS 12 – Val de Marne University located at Senart Institute of
Technology. Since 2005, he is co-director of SCTIC research group, one
of the two research groups of Images, Signals and Intelligent Systems
Laboratory (LISSI / EA 3956) of PARIS 12 – Val de Marne University.
He has worked on both digital and analog implementation
of massively parallel processors arrays for image processing by
stochastic relaxation, electro-optical random number generation, and
both analog and digital Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) implementation.
Author and coauthor of more than 220 publications in international
scientific journals, books (Springer, Kluwer, etc…), international
conferences’ and symposiums’ proceedings, he has been regularly invited
as key-note and invited lecture by international conferences and
symposiums (IEEE, IFAC, etc…). His current research interests include :
- large ANN structures behavior modeling and implementation,
- self-organizing, modular and hybrid neural based information
processing systems and their software and hardware implementations,
- design and implementation of real-time neuro-control,
- humanoid robotics
- collective robotics
- neural based fault detection and diagnosis systems.
Since 1996 he is a
permanent member (elected Academician) of International Informatization
Academy. In 1997, he was also elected as permanent Academician of
International Academy of Technological Cybernetics.
