Sebastien Mosser
Overview
Sebastien Mosser’s interests are related to software engineering, specifically scalable software composition, domain-specific languages and modelling. Considering elders’ requirements is essential to develop software inclusively and sustainably in today’s society. Since 2017, I have started collaborating with Human-Computer Interactions and Psychologists colleagues at Université Côte d’Azur (Nice, France) to understand how such requirements can be captured, and how it is possible to use such requirements as a guide for developers when implementing software. In the context of aging, one size does not fit all: from a software development point of view, it is a totally different problem than adapting software to a given kind of handicap (e.g., blindness). The research challenge here is to combine small adaptations (cognitive impairment but not dementia, vision decline but not blindness, motor troubles but no paraplegia) in a consistent way, triggering combinatorial issues and conflicting requirements. I was the PI of a French-Quebec project (2019 – 2021) related to teaching requirements engineering and artificial intelligence in the context of aging (Samuel de Champlain program), and I am collaborating with Rong Zheng in the sMAP program (one invited seminar, and participating to the evaluation of students’ projects).
