Evolution of Pervasive Information Systems

Since September 2008, Manuele Kirsch Pinheiro is Associate Professor in the Computer Science Research Center (Centre de Recherche en Informatique) of the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. Previously, she occupied a post-doctoral position in Computer Science at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. She received her HDR (Habilitation pour Diriger les Recherches) at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne on 2021, and her PhD in Computer Science at the Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble I in 2006, as well as a MSC also in Computer Science at the Université Federal do Rio Grandedo Sul in 2001. Her research interests include Ubiquitous Computing, Context-aware Computing, Pervasive Information Systems, Cooperative Work (CSCW), and group awareness.Carine Souveyet has been a full professor at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne since 2008 and a member of the Computer Science Research Center (CRI) since 1991. Her research interests include the engineering of "Pervasive information systems" : how the engineering of traditional information systems must evolve to handle this new kind of Information system. Her academic career has also been distinguished by the awarding of the Distinction of Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite by the Minister of Higher Education and Research in November 2019.Philippe Roose is associate-professor at E2S/University of Pau. He leads a bachelor in advanced computer science. He is the owner of 4 patents, two software licenses and has several experiences in technological transfers and collaborations with firms. He led several national & international projects and. He led around 20 PhD, and has more than 100 publications, mainly internationals. His research interests include Green Computing, Middleware and Context adaptation.Luiz Angelo Steffenel obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2005 at Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France. In September 2007, he was recruited at Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, and in 2021 he was assigned Full Professor and Director of the LICIIS Laboratory. His research covers HPC, distributed computing, edge/fog computing, and Machine Learning and Deep Learning applied to domains such as biochemistry, atmospheric sciences, and smart agriculture. Among his recent projects, we can cite the H2020 AI4DI and Horizon Europe EdgeAI projects on AI applied to smartagriculture, the CAPES-Cofecub MESO project on big data and AI for atmospherical sciences, as well as the ANR E-COVISION project on COVID-19 forecasting.
