 ====== About us ======
-Computer systems such as desktop computers are losing ground in wireless and mobile computers. Some still compute common desktop software and others are limited to communication tasks only for instance.
+WComp.NET is the result of the work of a lot of people: researchers, PhD students, engineer students, ...
-Mobility opens new perspectives. Computer usage tends to assist the user in daily activities such as driving. Could it be done without telling the computer its condition of use (keeping its usage more general as possible)?
+===== Researchers =====
-Should it be, such systems are called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_Computing |Wearable Computers]].
+==== Stéphane Lavirotte ====
-Moreover, time spent to development should shrink. And key features of software development are still reuse and assembly. Software development focuses consequently on the "integrator" (or assembler). Could the integrator be artificial then?

-Should it be, those Wearable Computers become adaptive.
+==== Gaëtan Rey ====
-We abstract the notions of communication and coordination between parts of software (computer instructions) sometimes called modules, but now rather called components. We mainly work on this abstraction called "software interaction", and we wrote tools to illustrate it.

During 2005-2006, he spent one year in the System Research Group of the University College of Dublin,UK. He’s Associate Professor in Computer Science in the Institute of Technology of the University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, France. |
-[[http://www.wcomp.fr/|WComp]] is the study of Wearable Computers through this theory. Moreover the development of this theory leads us to get interested in the so-called "Context-aware or Ubiquitous Computing" for mobile applications. Hence the information given to the user by the computer is well selected.
+==== Michel Riveill ====
-//We are working on a formalism on a unified view of context-aware computing to define notions such as contextual proximity.//

He is the team leader of the Rainbow research group. He got his PhD degree in computer science from the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble, in 1987, on distributed software. He obtained “Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches” in 1993, from the same institute. He’s full Professor in Computer Science at the Engineering School of Technology of the University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, France. He’s leading the software engineering department of the computer science laboratory of the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis and CNRS. |

He’s Associate Professor in Computer Science at the Engineering School of Technology of the University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, France. He’s currently managing and leading a project called “Continuum” supported by the French national research agency (ANR) to address the challenge of service continuity in dynamic pervasive environments involving various French universities and international companies. <jean-yves.tigli@unice.fr> |
-Les systèmes informatiques ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_computer|ordinateurs de bureau]]) sont en transition vers des systèmes mobiles. Ces derniers reproduisent alors les fonctionnalités des ordinateurs de bureau ou alors sont limités à des tâches spécifiques (comme les téléphones).
+\\
-Cette mobilité offre des perspectives qui dépassent la simple possibilité de transporter un ordinateur pour des tâches informatiques "classiques". Son utilisation s'ouvre à de nouveaux usages : ordinateur assistant un utilisateur dans toutes ses activités, utilisable en conduisant, en marchant, à l'arrêt, debout, ou assis (sans avoir à lui informer de son contexte d'utilisation). De tels systèmes sont appelés "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_Computing |Wearable Computers]]".
+===== PhD Students =====
-Le temps accordé au développement doit raccourcir. Ainsi, les points clés du développement logiciel sont la réutilisation et l'assemblage. Un nouveau rôle émerge alors : celui de configurateur d'application (ou intégrateur). Peut-il s'agir d'un système artificiel ?

-Ici aussi, nous proposons d'abstraire (dans la composition logicielle) les notions de communication et de coordination entre les modules logiciels (ou composants). Ce travail d'abstraction, nommé "[[Interactions Logicielles]]" est le coeur du travail de recherche.
+===== Engineer Students =====
-Ces études permettent de fournir des services et des outils pour l'assemblage de composants, en mettant l'accent sur leur nécessaire adaptation à leur environnement (qui regroupe leurs conditions d'utilisation).

-[[wikiwcomp|Wcomp]] se rattache à cette théorie en greffant simplement la notion de "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_Computing |Wearable Computers]]" aux systèmes étudiés. Le déploiement de service pour ces plates-formes nécessite de nous   intéresser au domaine de l'informatique contextuelle pour des applications mobiles. En effet, quoi de plus naturel que de vouloir tenir compte, par exemple, de la localisation d'un utilisateur pour lui fournir la liste des restaurants qu'il demande à un annuaire, depuis son [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_digital_assistant|PDA]] relié à [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet|Internet]] ?
