My research activities take place within the Myriads team in the INRIA/IRISA lab.
I am the coordinator of the H2020 FogGuru project which aims at training the next generation of European Fog computing experts. We design application resource management technologies, middlewares for easing the development of innovative applications and application blueprints, thereby providing tangible benefits to the European citizens.
Main research topics
DiPET project
The DiPET project investigates distributed data stream processing on fog and edge systems via transprecise computing.
Older projects
HARNESS (2012-2016): heterogeneous cloud platforms
ConPaaS (2010-2017): integrated runtime for elastic cloud applications
Contrail (2010-2013): an open-source Cloud computing platform
CloudTPS (2008-2012): scalable transactional data stores
Resource provisioning (2008-2012) for complex Web applications in the Cloud
Decentralized Wikipedia (2008-2011): a better way to host Wikipedia

Teaching
My teaching takes place at ISTIC, the department of Computer Science and Electronics of the University of Rennes 1.
Cloud and Network Infrastructures
I was the coordinator of the international Master's program on Cloud and Network Infrastructures from 2013 to 2020. This program – delivered entirely in English – prepares future professionals and researchers with an advanced course program on Cloud Computing and related technologies, together with a unique hands-on experience in technological innovation and entrepreneurship. The new coordinator is Cédric Tedeschi.
