People
The SmallEiffel Team
The SmallEiffel Team is an informal group of people in the [1]LORIA
lab of Nancy, France, gathered around the development of new
compilation techniques for object-oriented languages and their
implementation in SmallEiffel, The GNU Eiffel compiler. Most of us are
members of the [2]ECOO research team of the LORIA.
[o]
Dominique COLNET
Assistant Professor at the University Henri Poincaré of Nancy.
Dominique COLNET is the one who initiated the SmallEiffel project in
Summer 1994. His goal was to create an inexpensive, bug-free advanced
Eiffel compiler, unlike those already available on the market.
He has been the leader of this project as well as its key designer and
implementator since then. (See the [3]history page for more
information on the chronology of the SmallEiffel project).
[o]
Suzanne COLLIN
Assistant Professor at the University Henri Poincaré of Nancy.
Suzanne COLLIN has been working with Dominique from the very
beginning, taking a major part in conceptual and design discussions
and decisions.
Not being a member of the ECOO research team, she also provided the
invaluable point of view of a user of object-oriented languages
working in the field of image processing and augmented reality.
[o]
Olivier ZENDRA
Working on a PhD about the compilation of OO languages
He started working during most of his spare time with Dominique on
SmallEiffel in late 1994 - early 1995. He had many conceptual and
technical discussions with Dominique about languages, anchored types,
ANSI C, garbage collection, etc. and participated to the first
bootstrap. He also maintains the SmallEiffel Web site. He was able to
join the ECOO research team in late 1997 and thus is now working
almost full-time on SmallEiffel.
Former team members
[o]
Philippe COUCAUD
Master Thesis about garbage collection in OO languages.
After being a student of Dominique, and in charge of the
Macintosh-ready versions of SmallEiffel during his free-time since
1996, Philippe joined the SmallEiffel team of the ECOO research team
between February and September 1998 for his Master thesis. He worked
more especially on the garbage collector.
Other contributors
Many people have contributed to SmallEiffel, The GNU Eiffel Compiler.
The first of them, in chronological order, are the computer science
students of the University Henri Poincaré of Nancy, France. They
tested and benchmarked it, providing very useful information in the
early days of SmallEiffel.
Then, many people, either working in computer engineering or computer
science, or simply users working in various academic and business
fields, took part in the process of improving SmallEiffel. Since it
became The GNU Eiffel Compiler, in early 1998, even more people are
helping its development.
We want to thanks all these people who help us in this great
adventure. Althought it is not possible to mention them all, here is a
short [4]list of the most important contributors.
