Biography

Sacha Krakowiak (born in 1937) graduated from École Polytechnique (Paris, 1958) and holds a Doctorat ès Sciences en Informatique (Computer Science) from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, (Paris, 1973). He has been a professor of Computer Science at Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France since 1973 and is Professor Emeritus since 2007 Sacha Krakowiak is a senior member of the Sardes project (a joint project of INRIA and Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble). His current research interests include distributed systems and component-based autonomous systems. Prior to this appointment, he worked at INRIA (1968-1973), where he was a project leader in operating systems, and at the Bassin des Carènes (French Navy Towing Tank), (1962-1968), where he created and managed the Computing Center. He has done research on operating systems design and implementation, software development environments, object-oriented systems, and distributed systems and applications. From 1990 to 1995, Sacha Krakowiak has been deputy head of Bull-IMAG, a joint research laboratory established by the Bull company and the university of Grenoble, and leader of the Guide project (design and development of a distributed system based on an object model). He is now a senior member of the Sardes project (University of Grenoble and INRIA), on distributed systems and component-based autonomous systems. Sacha Krakowiak has been a member of the Scientific Board of INRIA from 1982 to 1995, and the coordinator of the French national cooperative research action on distributed systems from 1991 to 1997. He has published over 60 scientific papers and is the author or co-author of four books.
