2012 - 2014 : Phd thesis co-supervision of Ghazaleh Khodabandelou with Camille Salinesi and Rebecca Deneckère

Best Paper Award at RCIS 2013 for the paper Supervised Intentional Process Models Discovery using Hidden Markov Models


Current work

I am working on the issue of Intention Mining where we want to abstract intentions and models from traces of activities to (i) better understand the human ways of thinking and working and propose more adequate methods, (ii) measure the gap between prescribed models and their enactment, (iii) do recommendation according to the context of the user. We apply Intention Mining to Method Engineering and statistical analysis methods in Humanities.

I also work in conceptual modelling for Humanities by collaborating with researchers in History from the Medieval Studies Research Centre of Paris 1, LAMOP.

PhD research

Information systems engineering offers many methods, product and process models to efficiently carry out information systems. However, the defined process models do not necessarily meet the organisations constraints and specificities.

Moreover, different points of view (activity, product, decision, context, strategy) are considered in information systems engineering process modelling and metamodelling but they are defined independently one from another. Due to their number and lack of flexibility, the existing process models are hardly adaptable by method engineers to consider the organisations specificities.

This thesis proposes a method allowing method engineers to define their own process metamodels, taking into account their organisation constraints and specificities. It is guided by a conceptual graph including a set of process metamodelling concepts. The created metamodels include the different points of view. Furthermore, the construction of process metamodels is based on the reuse of generic and domain patterns. The method has been implemented and experimented with information systems engineering experts (see the experimentations presentation video in French).
