Manel Barkallah

Manel Barkallah is a teaching and research assistant at the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Namur. 

During her master’s thesis in 2018, she proposed an algorithm to optimize application partitioning in hybrid cloud environments, aiming to reduce communication and hosting costs in the public cloud (in terms of cost and response time), evaluated using IBM’s Cplex simulator. Since 2019, she has been pursuing her doctoral research, focusing on the areas of distributed systems and concurrent programming. She has also developed a coordination language based on the study of process algebras, applied to sociotechnical systems, including domains such as security, IoT, and smart cities.
