University
of Applied Sciences of Fribourg, Switzerland (EIA-FR)
EIA-FR
is one of the seven schools of Engineering and research centres of the
University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland where around 700
professors teach different scientific fields to around 6’000 students.
EIA-FR
has three missions:
1.
To train engineers in the field of computer science, telecommunication,
chemistry, energy, and mechanics
2.
To develop scientific applied research for the engineers
3.
To create relationship with industrial companies around a research and
development centre
Emphasis
is placed on the teaching of basic subjects, mathematics, physics and chemistry,
tailored to the long-term needs of industry and society. In addition, courses
are available in the leading fields of modern technology, with particular focus
on interdisciplinary aspects. As a basis for successful exchanges between
technology and society, education in the humanities is also associated with
stimulation of entrepreneurial spirit and skills in communicating scientific
knowledge.
Contact
with industry and the business world is encouraged early in the study programme,
and practical training provided through projects and external work experience.
During the third academic year, students can plan their own curriculum within a
modular system with credits. Strongly motivated students may elect to complete a
complementary Minor in an interdisciplinary field of engineering sciences.
The
MISL (Mobile Information System Laboratory) is a research unit of University of
Applied Sciences of Fribourg (EIA-FR). It concentrates its research interests in
two major parts: Mobile Internet technologies (WAP, GPRS, UMTS, PDA, etc.), and
Information System technologies (XML, XSL, WML, etc.). The most of applied
projects are in the domain of Ubiquitous Computing, Electronic Commerce,
Business Communication (B2B, B2C, etc.), GRID systems (P2P, Globus,…) and
distance learning.
Besides
the research activities, MISL also organises and participates in many teaching
activities to promote the use of document technology. Courses are either
dedicated to engineer students, providing them with the bases of electronic
multimedia document management, or to industry (SWISSCOM, MC&NET, METROCINE,
GFI, etc.), answering specific needs about design of information system, use of
hypermedia technologies, management of documents and information retrieval in
multimedia documents. The MISL will be the unit at EIA-FR involved in the
CARiMan NoE

Pierre
Kuonen obtained the diploma of electrical engineer from the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL) in January 1982. After having worked
during five years in the industry (petroleum and CAD development) he joined, in
1988, the Computer Science Theory Laboratory of the Computer Science Department
of EPFL. He was involved in teaching and research on parallel programming and
Computer Science Theory. He obtained the Ph.D. degree in 1993. From 1994 to 2000
he has been a scientific collaborator, heading the Parallel Computing Research
Group (GRIP) at the Computer Science Theory Laboratory and was senior lecturer
of the course Parallelism for students in the third and the fourth year of study
at the EPFL. During this period he managed several European and national
research projects. More specifically he was involved in the ACTS project STORMS
as workpackage leader. In February 2000 he joined the University of Applied
Sciences of Valais as computer science professor. Besides is teaching activities
he continues to actively participate to several national or international
research projects. He was involved, as workpackage leader, in the MONASIDRE
project (IST-2000-26144). From the beginning of March 2003 he is full time
professor at the EIA-FR. Pierre Kuonen is author or co-author of about 40
scientific publications
