Interacting Humans with Computing Systems

Biographies

Short

Pr. Philippe Palanque is professor in Computer Science at the University Toulouse 3. From 1998 to 2006 Philippe Palanque was head of the LIIHS research team and since 2007 is head of the IHCS research group at IRIT. Starting in 1995 he spent 2 years at CENA (Research centre of civil aviation) to develop and apply formal specification and interactive system design techniques to the field of air traffic control. For 4 years now he has been involved in several research projects funded by the French Department of Defence dealing with the notations and tools for the specification of real-time interactive systems (including Command and Control systems for drones, multimodal interfaces for military cockpits and ground segment systems in satellite control rooms …). As for civil aviation, he is now involved in the specification and certification issues of new interactive cockpits (that have to be compliant with ARINC 661 specification standard) of aircraft including A380, A400M and Boeing 787. He is chair of the IFIP Working group 13.5 on Human Error Safety and System Development and is adjunct chair for specialised conferences within ACM SIGCHI (Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction). He edited and co-edited eight books or conference proceedings and co-authored more than 100 refereed publications in international conferences and journals.

Long

Dr. Philippe Palanque is a Professor in Computer Science at the University Toulouse 3 – Paul Sabatier. From 1998 to 2006 Philippe Palanque was Head of the LIIHS research team at IRIT (Research Institute in Computer Science in Toulouse) and is currently Head of the IHCS (http://ihcs.irit.fr ) at IRIT. From 1995 he spent 2 years at DSNA/DTI/R&D (formally known as the CENA, the French Research Centre of Civil Aviation) to develop and apply formal specification and interactive system design techniques in the field of Air Traffic Control. For 4 years he has been involved in several research projects funded by the French Department of Defence dealing with notations and tools for the specification of real-time interactive systems and applied to cockpits of military aircrafts and drones. More recently, he is involved in developing tools and techniques (in the domain of civil aviation) for the specification and certification of new interactive cockpits (that have to be compliant with ARINC 661 specification standard) of aircraft including A380, A400M and Boeing 787. He has been working on research projects to improve interactive Ground Segment Systems, funded by the French Space Agency (CNES) for 10 years, beginning in 2001. His current research interests deal with formal description techniques to support design and construction of resilient interactive systems considering with equal importance, usability, safety and dependability.
