Antoine Beugnard

Antoine Beugnard is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at IMT Atlantique. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Rennes 1 (1993) and accreditation to supervise research in 2005. His career spans academia and industry, including roles at ENST-Bretagne, Telecom Bretagne (now IMT Atlantique), and Michael Jackson France.

• Education: PhD in Computer Science (University of Rennes 1, 1993), Accreditation to Supervise Research (2005)
• Affiliation: IMT Atlantique, Lab-STICC (UMR 6285), P4S team

Beugnard's research focuses on software modeling, particularly digital twins, model federation (via Openflexo/FML), and late-binding semantics in heterogeneous object-oriented languages. He explores interoperability challenges in multi-language systems and advocates for unified semantics to improve component compatibility.

Key trends in his publications include model-driven engineering, digital twin architectures, and formal modeling notations. His work bridges theoretical foundations with industrial applications, notably in telecom systems for Orange and multi-level modeling frameworks.

Advising and grants highlight his mentorship of 10+ PhD candidates and leadership in projects like Openflexo. He actively contributes to academic discussions on modeling methodologies and software development processes.
