Présentation

Imed KACEM is Distinguished Professor (Exceptional Class, E2) at the University of Lorraine, France, in Computer Science. He is the Founder and the Head of LCOMS Laboratory of the University of Lorraine from 2013 to 2023 (LCOMS is the Laboratory of Design, Optimization and Modelling of Systems) after being the Head of the Computer Science Department from 2010 to 2019. His teaching activities cover Computer Science, Advanced Algorithmics, Programming, Approximation Algorithms an Complexity, Graphs, Scheduling, Combinatorial Optimization, Modeling, ... His scientific activity is in the Operational Research. More precisely, his contributions are related to the design of exact and approximate algorithms with a guaranteed performance for the NP-hard combinatorial problems. Such problems are mainly related to the scheduling theory. The applications are interdisciplinary and various (production, packing in electronic design, healthcare, transportation, information visualization…). His contributions have been published in referred journals (Algorithmica, Theoretical Computer Science, Discrete Applied Mathematics, Discrete Optimization, Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, Journal of Scheduling, Annals of Operations Research, Applied Mathematics and Computation, Journal of Industrial and Management Optimization, Information Sciences, Computers & Industrial Engineering, RAIRO-Operations Research, IJPE, EJOR, 4OR, Soft Computing, IJCIM, IJOR, IEEE/SMC Transactions, Computers & OR, ...). These research activities have involved the supervision of 21 PhD theses as well as several selective projects (some of them have been funded by the ANR, the ANRT, the European Commission, the INTERREG, the ISITE-LUE Lorraine University of Excellence, the CNRS, …). He serves as area editor or guest editor for several journals (Annals of Operations Research-Springer, Computers & Industrial Engineering-Elsevier, RAIRO-Operations Research, European Journal of Industrial Engineering, Journal of Systems Science and Systems Engineering-Springer, Decision Analytics-Elsevier…) and he gave keynote speeches or pleanry tutorials for several conferences (IEEE/CIE40, Japon (2010); FUBUTEC2011, United Kingdom (2011); IEEE/CoDIT2013, Tunisia (2013); IEEE/ICSCS2013, France (2013); DASA2016, Tunisia (2016); CIE46, China (2016), ECC'16, Switzerland (2016); IEEE/CoDIT2017, Spain (2017); META2018, Morocco (2018); AFROS2018, Tunisia (2018); ROADEF2018, France (2018); JPOC11, France (2019); TORS2022, Tunisia (2022);). He chaired the program committee or the organizing committee of several international conferences (IEEE/ICSSSM06 (Troyes, 2006); IEEE/CIE’39 (Troyes, 2009); IEEE/CoDIT’14 (Metz, 2014); CIE’45 (Metz, 2015); IEEE/CoDIT’16 (Malta, 2016); ROADEF2017 (Metz, 2017); MOPGP2017 (Metz, 2017); IEEE/CoDIT’19 (France, 2019); IEEE/IESM’19 (Hong Kong, 2019); JPOC’11 (Metz, 2019)). He obtained the « Great Award of Research 2010 » from the Universities of Lorraine, the 3rd Robert Faure Award 2009 from the French Society of Operational Research and Aid Decision (ROADEF), the 2015 Steffan Schwarz Award (Best Paper Award of the European Conference ECEC’2015 in Portugal), the Best Paper Award of IEEE/CoDIT2018 in Greece and he has regularly the PEDR/RIPEC or the PES Premium (with the highest level A) since 2006. https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6649-7257
