Damien Cassou

I am a young computer science researcher mainly interested in programming languages and software engineering.

Current position

I am a currently working as a postdoc in France in the Inria Arles research group, lead by Valérie Issarny. This postdoc’s domain is the Internet of Things (IoT) and I’m currently involved in the interconnection of several communication paradigms such as Client/Server, Publish/Subscribe, and Tupple Spaces. This topic has very few things in common with what I have done in the past. This represents an adaptation challenge for me.

Scientific Interests

My main scientific interests and some related publications:

• Programming languages (Elsevier ComLan, ICDL’07, Master’s thesis)
• Domain-Specific Languages (IEEE TSE, Elsevier SCP, DSLRob’11, Ph.D. thesis)
• Test-Driven Development (Tools’09, C5’11)
• Software architectures (ICSE’11, Ph.D. thesis)
• Generative programming (GPCE’09, Ph.D. thesis)

I was a Ph.D. student supervised by Charles Consel. My thesis was about bringing general-purpose programming tools to dedicated domains. To do that I designed a domain-specific architecture description language whose compiler produces dedicated programming frameworks. An instance of this approach is DiaSpec, a language for describing Sense-Compute-Control systems.

I was one of the main developers of DiaSuite, a suite of tools comprising DiaSpec.

You can have a look at my Ph.D. thesis (in French) and my slides (also available in pdf).
