Annaba University, Algeria

The funding of the scientific collaboration project with the LabGed laboratory of university of Annaba (Algeria) by CNRS and DPGRF (Algeria) ended last year but continued in 2013 through the co-supervising of two PhD students from the university of Annaba with our Algerian colleague Hassina Seridi. Samia Beldjoudi works on the personalization of resource recommendation and Khaled Halimi on the personalization and socialization of ubiquitous e-learning systems based on Semantic Web models and techniques.

In 2013 Khaled Halimi visited the team for three months and started writing his thesis during this period. Catherine Faron Zucker received his PhD advisor Hassina Seridi in december with the project of setting a collaboration within the PICS CNRS program in 2014.
