Presentation

Imed Kacem: He received the Diploma of “INGENIEUR” from the ENSAIT (French “Grande Ecole”), and his M.Sc. degree from the University of Lille 1, France, both in 2000, as well as his Ph.D. degree in 2003 in control and computer science (flexible job-shop scheduling) from the Ecole Centrale de Lille, France. He obtained the HDR degree (habilitation to supervise research) from the University of Paris-Dauphine in 2007 in combinatorial optimization. From 2003 to 2009, he was Associate Professor with the Charles Delaunay Institute at the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT, France) in the Research Group for Optimization of Industrial Systems. During the year 2007/2008 he was with the National Scientific Research Centre (CNRS, France). Since 2009, he is Professor at the University of Lorraine (UL, France) in the Computer Science Department of the MIM Faculty.
