- Selected
Publications
- In the editorial board
of LMCS, of
Topology
and its Applications, of Theoretical
Computer Science.
- Upcoming events:
coorganizer, TianYuan
mathematics research center Seminar on Domain Theory and Its
Application (Dec. 14-20, 2025, Kunming City, Yunnan Province,
PRC); PC
member, FOSSACS

- My GPG public key (but beware of spoofing...)
- The general topology blog. This
serves as a collection of supplements to my book, "Non-Hausdorff
Topology and Domain Theory - Selected Topics in Point-Set Topology",
Cambridge University
Press.
- A few open
problems. I am looking for bright students: if you think you
can solve one, please get in touch with me!
- Lecture notes, in brief:Programming and
semantics
(L3), Graph
algorithms
(L3),
Computability
(L3),
Logic
and computer science - the lambda-calculus
(L3), Advanced
complexity theory, see
also here
if anything is missing from the previous page (M1),
Theory of
databases (M2 FESUP -
agrégation), Algorithmic
aspects of the theory of well-quasi-orders (M2 MPRI),
lambda-calculus
for the agrégation. More details on the French version of this Web page.
- English, by a real Frenchman
- Some ongoing projects. Beware! I've got
a tendency to try and write a few pages on a given topic
to get things straight, then it ends as a book...
- Le Pavé ("cobblestone"): A wonderful theory of games, belief functions, plausibilities, and previsions in a topological setting: pdf.
I am planning to rewrite everything, as a book, in English.
My topology book will serve as foundations.
- The ORCHIDS page.
ORCHIDS is a real-time, multi-event, multi-source intrusion detection tool
based on efficient temporal model-checking algorithms.
Get in touch with me if you are interested.
- the GimML language
- The H1 tool suite: a set of tools for handling finite tree automata,
set constraints, doing automated deduction in the decidable class H1.
Written almost exclusively in GimML.
