Patrick Valduriez (born 12 May 1955) is a French computer scientist working in the area of data science, in particular on distributed and parallel data management. Valduriez is a researcher at Inria, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation.[1]

Early life and education

Valduriez was born in Calais, France. After completing a bachelor's degree in computer science and technology at University of Lille in 1975, he obtained a master's degree in computer science at Pierre et Marie Curie University in Paris in 1977. Then, he worked for two years as a programmer for the French Ministry of Cooperation in Cotonou, Bénin. Back in France, he completed a PhD in computer science on parallel data processing under the supervision of Professor Georges Gardarin[2] at Pierre et Marie Curie University and Inria in 1981.

Career

After his doctoral degree, Valduriez obtained a position as junior researcher at Inria in 1982. In 1985, he joined Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), to work on the Bubba parallel database system.[3] There, he invented the concept of join indices,[4][5] which has been used by relational database systems to improve the performance of complex queries involving joins between large tables. In mid 1989, he returned to Inria as a senior researcher, where he successively created and led three teams: Rodin in Rocquencourt in 1990, Atlas in Nantes in 2002, and Zenith in Montpellier in 2012. A major outcome of the Zenith team[6] has been the Pl@ntNet citizen science platform for plant identification.

Since 2019, Valduriez has been the chief scientific officer at LeanXcale,[7] a company that develops a next-generation SQL database system. He is also the scientific director of the Inria-Brasil international partnership,[8] and a collaborator[9] at LNCC, Petropolis, Brazil.

Valduriez's research is on data science, focusing on large-scale data distribution and parallel processing of big data.

Books

Valduriez coauthored several major books on data management.

  • Principles of Distributed Database Systems[10] (1991) with M. Tamer Özsu
  • Principles of Distributed Database Systems, second edition[11] (1996) with M. Tamer Özsu
  • Principles of Distributed Database Systems, third edition[12] (2011) with M. Tamer Özsu
  • Principles of Distributed Database Systems, fourth edition[13] (2020) with M. Tamer Özsu
  • Relational Databases and Knowledge Bases[14] (1988) with Georges Gardarin
  • Analysis and Comparison of Relational Database Systems[15] (1989) with Georges Gardarin
  • Object Technology: Concepts and Methods[16] (1997) with Mokrane Bouzeghoub and Georges Gardarin

Awards

Valduriez received the best paper award at the 26th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2000)[17] and the best paper award at the 31st international conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2020).[18]

He was awarded the 1993 IBM scientific prize in Computer Science in France and the Innovation Award from Inria and the French Academy of Sciences.[19] He has been an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Fellow since 2012,[20] an Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA) Fellow since 2024,[21] and a Trustee Emeritus of the VLDB Endowment since 1998.[22]
