with STIP Consortium and completes the STIP specification.
In addition, Jean-Paul Billon chairs the JEFF workgroup
of J Consortium (www.j-consortium.org). JEFF is a new
format for Java programs that allows dramatic economies
of dynamic memory when executing Java programs on small
devices. JEFF is now an ISO standard.
Jean-Paul Billon joined Bull CP8 in 1998, that eventually
becomes part of Schlumberger. Jean-Paul Billon has managed,
in California, the CP8 Java Terminal team from 1998 to
end 2000. This team collaborated to the first studies
and experimentations of Java configurations for very small
embedded devices. For this pioneering work he received
an award at JavaOne Conference in 1999. In the same time,
he has been acting as consultant for Visa International.
Jean-Paul Billon has been CTO of Cardsoft Inc. in 2000
and 2001 before coming back to Schlumberger Smart Cards
Advanced Research division.

the INRIA. Specialist of Artificial Intelligence and formal
methods, Jean-Paul Billon has also been teaching Artificial
Intelligence and Automated Theorem Proving in Ecole centrale
of Paris and Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité
of Metz from 1984 to 1990. He received the Bull innovation
award in 1988 for a new algorithm of automated demonstration
that proved very effective for validating computer chips.
Since 1996, Jean-Paul Billon has oriented his activity
toward security and software architecture for embedded
devices and smart cards.
