Jean-Michel Bruel

Professor of Software Engineering

Smart Modeling for softw@re Research and Technology

Jean-Michel Bruel has been head of the SM@RT team of the IRIT CNRS laboratory until September 2021. His research areas include the development of software-intensive Cyber-Physical Systems, and methods/model/language integration, with a focus on Requirements and Model-Based Systems Engineering. He defended his “Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches” in December 2006 and obtained in 2008 a full professor position at the University of Toulouse . He has been Laboratory Representative for the Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès University from 2016 to 2020. He has been head of the Computer Science department of the Technical Institute of Blagnac in 2009-2012 and 2021-2023 and has been a member of the Strategic Research Committee of the IRIT CNRS laboratory since 2021. He is the holder of the Chair of Model-Driven Systems Engineering between AIRBUS and Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès University since 2022 and joined the International Research Laboratory in AI in 2023.

Projects

Chaire Industrielle

Despite the success of Model-Based Systems Engineering adoption, its application at scale and in a continuous approach to ensure the delivery of added value for its adopters is far from straightforward. The inherent complexity in terms of implied domains or of massively heterogeneous and poorly related data is not weaved by the simple use of a formal and disciplined modeling approach. A collaborative and continuous framework and process are required and need to aggregate up-to-date technologies in complementary techniques such as models, ontologies, and complex data management. It is the purpose of this Chair to study and make effective such complementarity.

Formal Requirements

Collaboration initiated with the Innopolis University on the use of formal methods in Requirements Engineering

FUN Modeling

Placing the Final User Needs (FUN) at the center of the (modeling) concerns

MBSE & Early Validation

An integrated model-based early validation approach for Railway Systems

GEMOC Initiative

GEMOC is an open and international initiative that aims to coordinate and disseminate the research results regarding the support of the coordinated use of various modeling languages that will lead to the concept of the globalization of modeling languages.
