The workshop METHODICA-II' 2009 is organized by the research unit ReDCAD (Research unit on development and control of distributed applications) of the national school of engineers of Sfax in collaboration with the scientific association of assistance to research and scientific innovation. The workshop gathers the members of the ReDCAD research unit during three days, and will join them with their Tunisian and foreign collaborators. The objective is to create a synergy of competences between the researchers by the presentation and the discussion of the progress reports of their research tasks. In particular, METHODICA-II' 2009 will allow:

1. To motivate & encourage the young researchers to publish their research tasks.
2. To give the opportunity to the young researchers to present and discuss their work with experts of the field.
3. To establish exchanges and collaborations of research.

Topics

The program of this workshop will comprise seminars presented by invited lecturers, university professors as well as presentations given by young Tunisian researchers.
