science. He has coauthored with M. Metivier and P. Priouret the book
"Adaptive Algorithms and Stochastic Approximations", and has been an
editor, jointly with Michele Basseville of the collective monograph
"Detection of abrupt changes in signals and systems". He has been
co-inventor, jointly with Paul Le Guernic, of the synchronous language
Signal for reactive systems design. From 1986 to 1990, he was
