Dr. Eng. Walid Gaaloul is an associate professor in TELECOM & Management SudParis one establishment for higher education and research in the field of Information and Communication Technology of the Institut Télécom. He is member of the SIMBAD group part of the Computer Science Department of Télécom SudParis and the the CNRS research laboratory SAMOVAR. Before joining TMSP, he was a researcher at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) and an adjunct lecturer in the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG). He holds an M.S. (2002) and a Ph.D. (2006) in computer science from the University of Nancy-France. He was a junior researcher in the Environments of COOperation (ECOO) research team in the Lorraine Laboratory of IT Research and its Applications (LORIA-INRIA) and a teaching assistant in the University of Nancy. His research interests are on Semantic Business Process Management, Process intelligence, Process reliability, Service Oriented Computing and semantics for B2B Integration. Currently, he is interested in the industrial and scientific applications of the semantic Web services in business process and particularly the semantic enrichment of TELECOM business processes. Walid Gaaloul has published over 30 research papers in these domains. He serves as program committee member and reviewer at many international journals and conferences and has been participating in several national and European research projects.
