He is also with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Marseille, France, and also with the Université de Toulouse, Toulouse. He has authored or coauthored two books on fuzzy sets and possibility theory, and several edited volumes on uncertain reasoning and fuzzy sets. He was the coauthor of Handbook of Fuzzy Sets series (7 vols., Kluwer, 1998–2000) including Fundamentals of Fuzzy Sets. He has contributed about 200 technical journal papers on uncertainty theories and applications.

He is the Co-Editor-In-Chief of the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems. He is a member of the Editorial Board of several technical journals, such as the International Journals on Approximate Reasoning, General Systems, Applied Logic, and Information Sciences, among others. His current research interests include artificial intelligence, operations research and decision sciences, and risk analysis, with emphasis on the modeling, representation, and processing of imprecise and uncertain information.,Dr. Dubois is an Advisory Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems. He is a Former President of the International Fuzzy Systems Association (1995–1997).
