My research interest lies in the automatic analysis of digitized documents, in order to expose their structure in addition to the textual content.
All my publications are in the XRCE publication database.

A bit of history...I graduated from the ENSIMAG, a computer science and applied mathematics engineering school (a so-called French "Grande Ecole") in 1989.
I first worked for the Cap Gemini R&D center, where I was exposed to the emerging domain of business process automation, in the context of a large European research project. The Cap Gemini team proudly came out with one of the first workflow product, called Process Weaver. I was responsible for the design, development of the process engine part and, later on, for its maintenance and support, with one foot on the service side.
I then joined Xerox in 1995 and got exposed to the life of a world-class research lab, to my huge benefit and pleasure. I took part in their research activity concerned with coordination middleware, see CLF 1, with a particular focus on its application to business process support. We later on got quite addicted to looking for ways to stimulate and sustain knowledge sharing in business environments. I contributed in particular to the SmartPrinter 1 and KnowledgePump 1 2 research and software development.
I joined the Document Structure group in 2004, and contributed in particular to Rossinante. Feel free to create your ePub there!
Since 2012, I joined the MLDAT group for new adventures.
All my publications since 1995 are in the XRCE publication database.
