Nicolas Figay
Présentation
Nicolas Figay is a system architect and interoperability expert at Airbus Defence and Space (Elancourt, France). His work focuses on the interoperability of enterprise and engineering information systems, with particular emphasis on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and enterprise architecture. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science on the interoperability of technical enterprise applications and a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) dedicated to continuous operational interoperability. His research interests include semantic interoperability, enterprise modeling, ontology-based approaches, and the role of standards in large industrial ecosystems. He has contributed to several European and national research projects in the domains of manufacturing networks, collaborative engineering, and PLM interoperability, including VIVACE, CRESCENDO, ATHENA, RISESTEP, SAVE, IDEAS, IMAGINE, and the SIP project at IRT SystemX. He is involved in international standardization activities, notably around ISO STEP (ISO TC184/SC4) and enterprise modeling standards. He is also the initiator of ArchiCG, an open-source demonstrator dedicated to semantic cartography and interactive architectural modeling based on compound graphs.
