Teaching

University

• The Acacia project is a welcoming team of the ``École doctorale STIC of the Nice - Sophia Antipolis University (UNSA)''.

• The members of the project gave the following courses:

  • Olivier Corby, Fabien Gandon and Alain Giboin are in charge of a course on knowledge engineering applied to semantic web. It's a one semester course during the last year of the curriculum at EPU (Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Nice Sophia Antipolis). They also supervised several student projects.

  • Olivier Corby gave the following courses:

    • Knowledge Engineering for the Semantic Web at ESSI UNSA Engineering school in 3rd year (total of 45 Hours).

    • ENTPE: Course on Knowledge engineering and XML: 12 hours

    • UTT Troyes: Course on RDF and Corese semantic search engine: 5 hours

  • Sylvain Dehors did eight practical sessions at ESSI teaching XML and XSLT.

  • During this year, Sylvain Dehors supervised three internships: Leonid Syniukov who worked as a master student on the interaction design of QBLS during three months. He was a student of the ErgoN'tic Master in Nice. He supervised 4 second year students of Polytech'Nice during their mid-term three weeks project. They had to develop a Java Program to analyze log files generated by the activity of learners on an e-learning system. Stephanie Mevel made her summer two months internship after Polytech'Nice second year among the acacia team. She redeveloped a web-based tool to analyze the logs generated by the activity of the learners during the QBLS experiment.

  • Rose Dieng-Kuntz is responsible for the course on " Knowledge Capitalization and Economic Intelligence (20h) in the framework of the Masters "Audit Informationnel et Stratégique" at the Institut d'Administration d'Entreprises, UNSA.

  • Fabien Gandon gives lectures as part of the course at ESSI on "Knowledge Engineering and Semantic Web" and supervises a number of students' projects.

  • Alain Giboin gave the following courses:

    • EPU, ESSI 3rd year, Module « Interfaces graphiques homme-machine » (GUI), Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis: contribution to the organization of the module, lectures, participation to tutorials, and assessment of students' GUI projects.

    • EPU, ESSI 1st year, tutoring of students' programming projects (ergonomics).

    • EPU (With Olivier Corby and Fabien Gandon) ESSI, Knowledge engineering applied to the Semantic Web course" : lectures and tutoring of students projects.

    • Master « Ergonomie des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (ErgoNTIC) », Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis : in charge of the Module « Méthodes et Techniques de Conception et d'évaluation des IHM », lectures, tutoring and training supervision. Coordination between the ESSI GUI Module and the Master ErgoNTIC. This coordination aims at making work together software engineers and ergonomists as early as the learning phase, and to allow software engineering and ergonomics teachers to set up joint actions promoting cooperation between software engineers and ergonomists.

  • Khaled Khelif gave:

    • Practical courses on Java Programming in UNSA (24 hours)
