Teaching

All the members of the Atlas project-team teach database management, multimedia, and software engineering at the Bs, Ms and Ph.D. degree levels at the University of Nantes, and, since sept. 2009, at University Montpellier 2.

Noureddine Mouaddib, on leave from Polytech'Nantes and a former member of the team, has been appointed the president of Rabat International University, Morocco, which aims at training high-level engineers and managers for Africa.

The book Principles of Distributed Database Systems, co-authored with professor Tamer Özsu, U. Waterloo, published by Prentice Hall in 1991 et 1999 (2nd edition) has become the standard book for teaching distributed databases all over the world. Our Web site features course material, exercises, and direct communication with professors. A third edition is in progress and will be a major revision with much new material on replication, P2P, parallel systems and web data integration. A third edition is (at last) reaching completion.
