Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor

Institute Name: Centre de Recherche Public Henri Tudor

Description: Hosted by the Luxembourg Institute of Technology (IST), the Public Research Centre Henri Tudor (CRP-HT) is devoted to innovation and cooperative R&D. The Centre aims to improve the innovation capabilities of industries in Luxembourg and the SAAR-LOR-LUX region. Its basic missions are R&D projects with partners, building up new competencies, and high level services or providing education. In addition to its specialized laboratories(software engineering, automation, environment, microelectronics, etc..) the Centre includes a sector of related multi-disciplinary resource centres (manufacturing, health care, multimedia, building trades, etc..). A resource centre is typically devoted to technology transfer towards sector related enterprises by providing an integrated set of services : awareness, demonstration, training, documentation, neutral sector-related actors platform, sector-related information network, sharing of expensive technologies, competitive intelligence, technical assistance, co-operative RTD and new competencies.

In 1993, the Centre had a total budget of about 4 MECU(self-funding rate was about 50%) and 75 full time collaborators. Its annual report of 1993 can be obtained via http://www.crpht.lu/

Researchers associated with the project:

Jean-Pol Michel Anne Hendrick Muriel Chandelon Funck Marc

Brief CVs of Key Researchers:

Name: Marc Funck

Nationality: Luxembourgish

Academic Qualifications & Experience: Mr. Funck studied computer science at the Free University of Brussels (Belgium) from 1989 to 1993. Now, he is writing his dotoral thesis on methodologies for designing distributed information systems, under the supervision of Mr Eric Dubois from the Facultes Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, Namur (Belgium).

Mr. Funck participates in the CIMOO project at the Software Engineeniring Departmentthe of CRP-HT. The objective of this project, entitled "Methodological Framework for Aided Specification and Design of Integrated Information Systems",is to draw up an innovative approach of computerizing controlling integration. The project studies the fields of requirements, software and system engineering, with focus to advanced issues, including object orientation, distributed systems, formal and transformal approaches and CASE tools.

Mr. Funck also cooperates with the ALBERT team of Eric Dubois, concentrating on the development of a simulator for ALBERT specifications(i.e. an extention to the existing ALBERT animator).

Name: Muriel Chandelon

Nationality: Belgish

Academic Qualifications & Experience: Miss Chandelon studied computer science at the Institut d'Informatique of the Facults Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (FUNDP), Namur (Belgium), where she got her Master's degree in Computer Science in 1987. In 1984 she got her first 2 years degree in social and economic sciences at the Facult des Sciences Econiques et Sociales (FUNDP)

Miss Chandelon works at the CRP-HT, where she is the project manager of the CIMOO project (see above). She is appointed as an expert for the European Commission for the evaluation of proposals for the Information Technology Programme (ESPRIT).

Prior to her current position, Miss Chandelon worked as an research engineer at the FUNDP from October 93 to April 94. During that period, she participated in the PHENIX project, a four-year research project run jointly with the BIKIT (Rijk Universiteit Gent), with six researchers, supported by IRSIA/IWOLN (Belgian research support agency) and fourteen industrial partners. From October 87 to September. 89, Miss Chandelon acted as teaching assistant for Prof. J-L Hainaut, Institut d'Informatique, FUNDP.
