Self-introduction
My real name is Frederic Peschanski, I am french, in the 30s and an assistant professor at the University of Paris 6 - Pierre et Marie Curie in France. I was formerly a researcher at the University of Tokyo in the Department of Information Science.

I am a big fan of Wikipedia and started only recently (Tue Apr 13 07:20:49 UTC 2004) to try to contribute to the encyclopedia.

I am mostly interested in computer science or computers in general, at least regarding my Wikipedia contributions.

I am interested in everything related to the idea of Programming language, most notably not yet existing ones (I am working on it) and, for the existing ones, Lisp (Common Lisp as well as Scheme) and Python, for very different reasons.

From a research point of view, I am mostly involved in concurrent and distributed programming issues. I try to conciliate practical and formal investigations, which must be current but seems in fact relatively rare.

I love the Wiki concept and I really think Wikipedia is the first real-world demonstration that Wiki-based collaborations work on a large-scale basis. I will try my best to contribute to this effort (well, I only did a few contributions since I am mostly working on computer science courses at the university).

My best moments where probably while living in Japan (well, I am still happy but these were the best, undoubtfully) and speak Japanese at least enough to watch nice Japanese Anime.

On-going work
I saw that there was nothing about process calculi, a computer science theory I am working with/on. I will try to start with the Pi calculus
