Michel Raynal has been a professor of computer science since 1981.
At IRISA (CNRS-INRIA-University joint computing research laboratory located in Rennes), he founded a research group on Distributed Algorithms in 1983.

His research interests include distributed algorithms, distributed computing systems and dependability. His main interest lies in the fundamental principles that underlie the design and the construction of distributed
computing systems. He has been Principal Investigator of a number of research grants in these areas, and has been invited by many universities all over the world to give lectures and tutorials on distributed algorithms and fault-tolerant distributed computing systems. He belongs to the editorial board of several international journals.

Professor Michel Raynal has published more than 95 papers in journals (JACM, Acta Informatica, Distributed Computing, Comm. of the ACM, Information and Computation, Journal of Computer and System Sciences, JPDC, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on SE, IEEE Transactions on KDE, IEEE Transactions on TPDS, IEEE TDSC, IEEE Computer, IEEE Software, IPL, PPL, Theoretical Computer Science, Real-Time Systems Journal, The Computer Journal, etc.); and more than 195 papers in conferences (ACM STOC, ACM PODC, ACM SPAA, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE DSN, DISC, IEEE IPDPS, Europar, FST&TCS, IEEE SRDS, SIROCCO, LATIN, etc.). He has also written seven books devoted to parallelism, distributed algorithms and systems (MIT Press and Wiley).

Michel Raynal has served in program committees for more than 85 international conferences (including ACM PODC, DISC, ICDCS, DSN, SRDS, etc.) and chaired the program committee of more than 15 international conferences. In 2002-2004, he chaired the steering committee leading the DISC symposium series. Michel Raynal got the IEEE ICDCS best paper Award three times in a row: 1999, 2000 and 2001. Recently, he co-chaired the the SIROCCO 2005 conference (devoted to communication complexity), and the IWDC 2005 conference (two events whose proceedings are published in the Springer Verlag LNCS series). Michel Raynal is a general co-chair of IEEE ICDCS 2006 (the main IEEE conference in distributed computing).
