Rachid Guerraoui Distributed Programming Laboratory Full Professor PhD (Orsay, 1992) web site: http://lpdwww.epfl.ch/rachid/index.html office(s): INR310 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 35272,35271 fax: [+41 21 69] 37570 BIOGRAPHY Rachid Guerraoui has been affiliated with Ecole des Mines of Paris, the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique of Saclay, Hewlett Packard Laboratories and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has worked in a variety of aspects of distributed computing, including distributed algorithms and distributed programming languages. He is most well known for his work on (e-)Transactions, epidemic information dissemination and indulgent algorithms. He co-authored a book on Transactional Systems (Hermes) and a book on reliable distributed programming (Springer). He was appointed program chair of ECOOP 1999, ACM Middleware 2001, IEEE SRDS 2002, DISC 2004 and ACM PODC 2010.
