Talk at Web Science Montpellier Meetup - 13th May 2011
Citation preview
Web Science Master 2011->
Université Montpellier 2 FdS-Informatique
LIRMM Stefano Cerri, Madalina Croitorou, Patrick Valduriez and the Web Science team (16+)
2004 : attempt to launch an Erasmus Mundus «Euro Agents » (Artificial Intelligence) at FdS. 4 EU Universities contacted. Initiative: Daniele Herin. Operation: Stefano Cerri and Fred Koriche. Reasons of the failure: no money for paying the classes in English.
2006: attempt to launch an English Master in « Human and Robot Services and Cognition » at Polytech (Duby). Stefano Cerri (FdS) and Maguelone Teisseire (Polytech). Reasons of failure: opposition of FdS.
2009: attempt to launch a Master « Web Science » at FdS (habilitation 2011->). Stefano Cerri (FdS) and Madalina Croitorou (IUT MPL) (+ A. Château FdS; C. Tibermacine IUT Bezier, M. Huchard FdS, T.Stratulat Polytech, C. Dony FdS, T. Libourel FdS, I. Mougenot FdS, J.Ferber FdS, F. Michel IUT MPL, V. Prince FdS, P. Valduriez INRIA, E. Pacitti Polytech, Z. Bellahsene IUT MPL, M. Hascoet FdS, A. Laurent Polytech, A. Gouaich IUT MPL, E. Bourreau FdS, Vincent Douzal Cemagref, … )
Reaction AERES: very positive (call to UM2 for support).
Historical trace
Web science Avis : L’objectif de la spécialité est de proposer une formation en anglais sur le thème novateur d’une science du Web qui va bien au-delà des technologies du Web pour englober une réflexion pluridisciplinaire sur la réalité et les impacts du Web. Il s’agit d’un projet en construction qui doit associer des partenaires étrangers. Ce projet très ambitieux, sur un domaine novateur et qui contribue à l’ouverture internationale, mérite d’être fortement soutenu. Points forts :
Thématique originale sur un domaine en expansion. "Adossement au LIRMM, laboratoire très reconnu. "Partenaires envisagés très prestigieux (MIT, Southampton). "UE proposées en anglais.
"Points faibles : " "Le projet est encore à mettre en place. " "Il manque une étude sur l’insertion professionnelle ou sur la poursuite
d’études après le master.

Recommandations pour l’établissement : Le projet est très prometteur et mérite d’être fortement soutenu. En revanche, au moment de l’évaluation, ce projet n’est pas suffisamment mûr pour pouvoir prendre position. Parmi les questions importantes restant ouvertes, citons les suivantes :
Qu’en est-il des relations avec les partenaires envisagés ? Cette spécialité sera-t-elle à vocation « recherche », professionnelle ou indifférenciée ? Dans les deux derniers cas, l’implication de partenaires industriels dans la formation devrait être prévue.

March 2009 : visit of Jerôme Galy (International Um2) to LIRMM
Project IMI (Internationalisation of Masters in Informatics) supported with 3K€ in 2009 (one travel MC to Southampton, one travel SAC to Stanford)

Goals of the Web Science Master initiative at UM2:
Widen the student's potential market
Enhance
the « international » with Countries from the « north »
the Informatics curriculum and organisation focussing of the jobs of the future
Widen and better the student's
potential market: “Bassin de recrutement” multiplied by a factor 10-20 to all the English speaking communities
without excluding the French speaking ones
CLIL method (Content Language Integrated Learning, check the EU web site concerning this)
High chances to select « the best students » not only « more students » : attract international talents to France
Enhance the « international » with Countries from the « north »
The « international » already existing at the UM2 (wrt pedagogy) is *** mainly *** with Countries from the « south »: Maghreb, Lebanon, Vietnam, Thailand, ...
Enhance it with a significant joint Master with Countries from the « north » (Europe, US, Israel, Japan, …)
without excluding the Countries from the south (Brazil, India, …)
Erasmus Mundus if possible (high chances to get it, but huge time and efforts needed: many administrative pbs to solve + win the bid at the EU ...)
Enhance the Informatics curriculum Usage-centered development of Web 3.0 : a science of the Web:
study billions of machines and billions of humans connected before engineering infrastructures and applications
special fit to MPL's priorities in Agro-Bio-Health-Environment Sciences
Southampton agrees to share the concerns
see Web Science Trust and Southampton-Oxford Web Science Institute (30M£)
Southampton: EE & CS; Oxford: Humanities & Social Sciences
see also the Brazilian Web Science Research initiative.
Reshape the Informatics organisation focus on research and innovation (no strong distinction)
less classes in presence (max 15 hrs per week) much more personal and group study
dynamic content capitalysing from richness of scientific events in MPL
when Erasmus then mobility ensured in Europe and elsewere (US, Brazil, ...)
direct links with researchers LIRMM A+ in France , but also organisms eg INRIA, CEMAGREF, INRA, CIRAD, IRD, ... ??? other UM2 Labs ??? UM1? UM3?
focussing of the jobs of the future research and innovation in administrations and enterpsises in any possible domain where the Web induces « virtualisation »
eg: distance work, commerce, learning, entertainement, health, justice, politics, ...
high level of conception difference with web technologies synergies with application scenarios abstraction with respect to technologies
strategic jobs, not just technical skills (US: 80% of classical « technical » jobs are delocalized !)
technical immediate adoption of the paradigm shift introduced by Service Oriented Computing = Semantics (meaning is central in focus) + Processes (distributed human and artifical processes) + Agents (autonomous, distributed, heterogeneous, communicating, asynchronous, dynamic entities)
Conclusion:
Need for a Curriculum Development project
Supported at the level of UM2 (even if under the initiative of the FdS)
