Jean Arlat was born in Toulouse (FR) in 1953. He received the Engineer diploma from the Toulouse National Institute of Applied
Sciences (INSAT) in 1976 and the Docteur-Engineer and Docteur ès-Sciences degrees from the Toulouse National Polytechnic Institute
(INPT) in 1979 and 1990, respectively. He has been with LAAS-CNRS since 1976, where he currently holds a position of Directeur
de Recherche at CNRS, the French National Organization for Scientific Research, within the Dependable Computing and Fault
Tolerance Group that he led from 2003 to 2008. In January 2011, he was appointed as deputy director of the laboratory and
he is currently the director. From 2007 to 2010, he coordinated the research area on Critical Information Systems, one of
the 4 scientific domains characterizing LAAS research activities.
His research interests include the architecting of safe and secure embedded computerized systems and the dependability assessment
of computer systems — using both analytical modeling and experimental approaches (especially, fault injection). He authored
or co-authored more than 120 papers for international and national journals and conferences 3 books and 21 book sections.
He has contributed to several European projects and networks and also various contracts with industry. From that respect,
from 1997 to 2000, he led the Laboratory for Dependability Engineering (LIS) set between LAAS and five leading companies:
Airbus, Astrium, Électricité de France, AREVA TA and Thales. Subsequently, from 2001 to 2004, he coordinated the activities
of the Network for Dependability Engineering (RIS) that extended the cooperation started within LIS.
From 1999 to 2005, he chaired the IFIP Working Group 10.4 on Dependable Computing & Fault Tolerance and received the IFIP
Silver Core Award in 2007. In France, he is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Carnot Institutes
that gathers selected research labs featuring significant partnership with industry.
