Dr. Jean-Luc Dormoy joined CEA-LIST in May 2003, where he is in charge of orienting its research programme for the next 5-7 years. CEA-LIST is a technological research center based in Paris suburbs in the area of "Software Intensive Systems", and brings together 370 researchers and engineers. It is mainly financed through industrial and institutional contracts. CEA-LIST is among the actors pushing towards the emergence of a research, technological and industrial pole devoted to software-intensive systems in the South of Paris, with an objective of 1,600 researchers in 2010.

Dr Dormoy has been a member of the executive committee of the RNTL since 2001 ( Réseau National des Technologies Logicielles , the French software initiative). He is in charge of 12 platform projects, which bring together research and industry actors around important “technological nodes”, such as middleware, numerical simulation or virtual reality.

He published several papers on software economy and the unbalanced position of Europe.

Dr Jean-Luc Dormoy formerly worked at Electricité de France , where he developed many IT systems, going from nuclear plant monitoring to AI-based information system components. In particular, he was head of a team developing the system Descartes, which aimed at automatizing software production from formal specifications.

Dr Jean-Luc Dormoy was first educated in mathematics, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Saint-Cloud . Then he got a PhD in Artificial Intelligence with Pr. Jean-Louis Laurière at Paris 6 University. He has worked and published in various areas: qualitative physics and calculus, rule-based and expert systems, formal methods and automatic program generation, numerical simulation.
