[Callepin.png][François Taïani] Research

During my Ph.D. at LAAS, I have worked on the instrumentation and the design of multi-level reflective platforms, in order to improve their dependability. The main idea of this work was to investigate the interdependencies between the different layers of an executive platform (Assembler, OS, Virtual Machine, Middleware, ...), in order to leverage our know-how about reflective approaches for dependability in a multi-level context. (This is what we call Multi Level Reflection). On the experimental side, I used CORBA, Linux and Java technologies to validate this approach.
 
My principal advisors were Dr. Jean-Charles Fabre, and Dr. Marc Olivier Killijian. I also worked with Eric Marsden, Juan Carlos Ruiz García, and Manuel Rodriguez Moreno. My research directions was a continuation of the important work carried out so far within the group on COTS (Components Off the Shelf) characterization and fault containment. In you're interested in COTS and Dependability, have a look at our FRIENDS and MAFALDA projects.
 
My Ph.D. was funded by the DSoS Project (Dependable Systems of Systems) within the IST Program of the European Union.
