Fabien Lucien GANDON...

Senior Researcher at Inria, Leader of the Wimmics research team at Inria in the Research Center of Sophia-Antipolis and I3S CNRS, University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis (France). I have a Ph.D. and HDR in Informatics and Computer Science and I am a Graduated Engineer in Applied Mathematics from INSA Rouen. My professional interests include: Semantic Web, Ontologies, Knowledge Engineering and Modelling, Mobility, Privacy, Context-Awareness, Web Services and Multi-Agents Systems. My main domain of application is organizational memories (companies, communities, etc.) and knowledge management in general. My personal objectives are to research and teach in the field of applied computer science and informatics, in an international environment. I also participate to W3C working groups.

Research and Lecturing Background

Oct. 07 - ... : Full-time Researcher in Informatics and Computer Science in the Edelweiss Research team of Inria in the Research Center of Sophia-Antipolis, France.
Jan. 04 - Sep 07: Full-time Researcher in Informatics and Computer Science in the Acacia Research team of Inria in the Research Center of Sophia-Antipolis, France
Jan. 03 - Dec. 03: Post-doc position in the Mobile Commerce Lab ( ISRI) within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I was working on the myCampus project providing context-aware mobile accesses to web services aimed at enhancing everyday life on the campus of a university. It relies on Semantic Web standards for data communication and storage, multi-agent systems and web services for the implementation of services, and personal digital assistants with wireless network connections for access and localisation. See also myCampus final report of 2003.
Thursday 7th November 2002: Ph.D. Defense. I was a Ph.D. student in the Acacia Research team of Inria in the Research Center of Sophia-Antipolis (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). My subject was "Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management: ontologies and multi-agents systems for a corporate semantic web.". This work concerned multi-agents systems for the management of a corporate semantic web based on an ontology. It was carried out in the context of the European project CoMMA focusing on two application scenarios: support technology monitoring activities and assist the integration of a new employee to the organisation. Three aspects were essentially developed in this work:

• the design of a multi-agents architecture supporting both scenarios, and the organisational top-down approach followed to identify the societies, the roles and the interactions of agents.
• the construction of the ontology O'CoMMA and the structuring of a corporate memory exploiting semantic Web technologies.
• the design and implementation of the sub-societies of agents dedicated to the management of the annotations and the ontology and of the protocols underlying these groups of agents, in particular techniques for distributing annotations and queries between the agents.

Nov. 01 - Oct. 02: Third year of Ph.D. at Inria and Third year of "Monitorat", in charge of three groups of students from University, first year in Mathematics and Physics for practical work sessions on Java programming.
