Resume:

Xiaolan Xie received his Ph.D degree from the University of Nancy I, Nancy, France, in 1989, and the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches degree from the University of Metz, France, in

1995.

Currently, he is a chair professor at SJTU and a professor of industrial engineering and the head of the department of Healthcare Engineering, ENSM.SE, France. Before Joining

ENSM.SE, he was a Research Director at the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) from 2002 to 2005, a Full Professor at Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Metz from 1999 to 2002, and a Senior Research Scientist at INRIA from 1990 to 1999. His research interests include design, planning and scheduling, supply chain optimization, performance evaluation, and maintenance of manufacturing and healthcare systems. He is author/coauthor of over 200 publications including over 80 journal articles and five books. He has rich industrial application experiences with European industries. He is the French-leader for various EU-funded projects including FP6-IST6 IWARD on swarm robots for health services, FP6-NoE I*PROMS on intelligent machines

and production systems, the FP5-GROWTH-ONE project for the strategic design of supply chain networks, the

FP5- GRWOTH thematic network TNEE on extended enterprises.

He has been an associate editor on the conference editorial board of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society,

IEEE Transactions on Automation Science & Engineering , IEEE Transaction on Automatic Control and IEEE

Transactions on Robotics & Automation. He has a Guest Editor of various special issues on health care engineering in IEEE Trans. Syst. Man & Cybernetics, Annals of Operations Research (AOR, 2010), and Health

Care Management Science (HCMS, 2009), and four other special issues on discrete event systems and manufacturing systems for IJCIM (2005), IJPR (2004, 2001), IEEE Trans. Robotics & Automation (2001). He is general chair of ORAHS’2007, IPC chair of the IEEE Workshop on Health Care Management WHCM’2010 and

IPC member for many other conferences.
