Nicolas Figay Nicolas Figay est architecte système et expert en interopérabilité chez Airbus Defence and Space (Élancourt, France). Ses travaux portent sur l’interopérabilité des systèmes d’information d’entreprise et d’ingénierie, en particulier dans les domaines du PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), de l’ingénierie système basée sur les modèles (MBSE) et de l’architecture d’entreprise.Il est titulaire d’un doctorat en informatique consacré à l’interopérabilité des applications techniques d’entreprise, ainsi que d’une habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) portant sur l’interopérabilité opérationnelle continue. Ses thématiques de recherche incluent l’interopérabilité sémantique, la modélisation d’entreprise, les approches ontologiques et le rôle des standards dans les écosystèmes industriels complexes.Il a participé à plusieurs projets de recherche européens et nationaux, notamment VIVACE, CRESCENDO, ATHENA, RISESTEP, SAVE, IDEAS, IMAGINE, ainsi qu’au projet SIP de l’IRT SystemX.Il contribue aux travaux de normalisation internationale, en particulier autour des standards ISO STEP (ISO TC184/SC4) et des langages de modélisation d’entreprise. Il est également à l’origine d’ArchiCG, un démonstrateur open source dédié à la cartographie sémantique et à la modélisation architecturale interactive par graphes composés.

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.
