Christian BRUNETTE  PhD Student in computer science

Thesis subject: Use of reactive approach in distributed simulation.
PhD supervisor : Frederic BOUSSINOT.

My research interests involve (not exclusively) reactive programming (models, implementations, and applications), object-oriented languages (Java) and distributed simulations.

I began my thesis working on the european IST-PINGproject (PING means Platform of Interactive Networked Game). This project intends to specify, develop and demonstrate a flexible and scalable architecture for large-scale interactive multi-participant applications (games) on the Internet. In this project, my work was to redefine the Icobjs framework. The Icobjs is a means to create visually and dynamicaly reactive behaviors in an easy manner. The goal of this redefinition was:

• to have a much more modular approach. 
• to add behaviors for distributed simulations. For this project, we defined a master-slave approach for the behavior of each icobjs entity. The master (the original entity) has the whole behavior and the slaves (the replications of the originale entity on each other simulation) have only a part of these behaviors and synchronized themselves with the master for the remain behaviors. This reduces the computation charge of each simulation.
• to allow building new behaviors and new entities through the network.
• to add dead-reckoning mechanisms.
