Dr. Jean-Marc Seigneur is senior lecturer and research manager at the University of Geneva. He carried out his PhD on computational trust at Trinity College Dublin. He has worked on many EU projects, especially on trust, privacy and security tasks. He is leading the trustcomp.org computational trust community with now more than 280 academics and industrials since 2004.
He has published more than 70 scientific publications in the field of privacy protection, security and trust management. He has pioneered the formalisation of computational trust management based on the human notion of trust as modelled in social and economic sciences as part of the FP5 SECURE project. Then he has applied computational trust in different application domains in several EU-funded FP6 and FP7 projects: FP6 DBE in digital business ecosystems, FP6 EDOS in trust of open source software and developers, FP7 PERIMETER in trust of telecom operators networks, in FP7 ULOOP in trust of wireless user-centric networks and in FP7 MUSES in trust of BYOD and mobile workers.
He has been an evaluator of project proposals for the European Commission as well as an evaluator of ongoing accepted projects. Recently he is pushing to apply trustworthy smart cities technologies not only in big cities but also for the population of mountain cities, which he coined smart ski resorts. He is the founder of the startup called Réputaction.
