Frédéric Maris
Associate Professor in Computer Science (HDR)
Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier
IRIT-CNRS UMR5505 (co-head of ADRIA team)
Teaching: My teaching activities focus on the themes of logic, optimization and planning. I am co-head of the course on Digital Sciences (L1), and head of the courses on Logic (L1) and Artificial Intelligence, Constraints and Planning (MSc.2).
Research: My research activities focus on Artificial Intelligence, especially on the themes of automatic reasoning and task planning.
In this context, I work mainly on:
- extension of expressivity of problem description languages and representation of plans for MultiAgent, Flexible, Temporal, Epistemic and Contingent planning (MAFTEC),
- planning using SAT, SMT, QBF or CSP solvers,
- development of encodings for these solvers,
- problem transformations,
- research of tractable classes for MAFTEC planning,
- development of dynamic and epistemic logics for planning.
Projects:
- Inter-carnot Cognition/Arts project TUIConstraint (ongoing, 2023)
- ANR PING/ACK (AAPG 2018-2023)
- ANR CoPains (AAPG 2018-2022)
- Hubert Curien France-Germany partnership PROCOPE 37849RE (2017-2018)
- ANR TUPLES (Programme Blanc 10-BLAN-0210, 2010-2015)
