Wided LEJOUAD

Ph.D. in Computer Science

EDUCATION

• Ph.D. thesis in Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, October 1994
  Completed in the Secoia research project (leaded by Bertrand Neveu) at INRIA (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) on the study and application of distribution techniques for a knowledge based system shell.
• D.E.A. in Software Engineering University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, September 1990
  French equivalent of M.S. developing knowledge in various theoretical computer science fields: semantics of parallelism, artificial intelligence, programming environments, and object-oriented programming. The M.S. Thesis is completed at INRIA Sophia Antipolis on the design of a programming enviroment for an expert system shell.
• Maîtrise in Computer Science and Management University of Tunis - Tunisia, June 1989
  French equivalent of B.S. developing knowledge in computer science applied on management techniques and industrial projects. The B.S. Thesis is completed in the research unit 962 of the CNRS (National Center of Scientific Research - France) on the design of a transcription system (alphabetical form - numerical form) for the french and arabic numbers.
