À propos

Enseignante-chercheuse à la FSEGS et membre du laboratoire ReDCAD (Université de Sfax), je travaille sur la gestion des processus métiers dans des environnements distribués. Mon habilitation universitaire (2025) porte sur la gestion des processus métiers sensibles au temps dans les environnements Cloud, Edge et Blockchain, dans la continuité de ma thèse de doctorat sur la spécification et la vérification de contraintes temporelles dans les processus métiers inter-organisationnels (ENIS, 2015, mention très honorable).
