Duck: A Customized LSP for Berger-Levrault. Because, why not ?
Introduction The Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a standard that defines how code editors communicate with language-specific servers to provide advanced development features such as autocompletion, go-to-definition, find references, and diagnostics (errors and warnings). Before LSP, each editor had to implement its own support for every programming language, leading to
From modeling to optimization : solving the Stock Size Problem with JuMP and its compatible state-of-the-art solvers
Introduction In a context where the supply chain has become a central and structuring component of the Industry 5.0 ecosystem, recent research is shifting toward a new paradigm: Supply Chain 5.0. This paradigm aims to integrate advanced technologies in order to design highly intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable logistics networks. Among
The future of business software: orchestrating capabilities rather than screens
Introduction For several decades, enterprise software has been shaped by a fragile compromise between technical complexity and user readability. Systems accumulate features, formalise rules, store data, and generate documents, while leaving users to reconstruct meaning and sequences of actions themselves. “There is no silver bullet”, wrote Fred Brooks in a 1986 paper on
BL-Viz4D: A Digital Twin viewer for Maintenance
BL-VIZ4D is a research project led by Berger-Levrault, dedicated to the visualization, synchronization, and interaction with digital twins applied to maintenance. Stemming from thesis work conducted in partnership with the LIRIS laboratory (Laboratory of Image Informatics and Information Systems), BL-VIZ4D explores the scientific and technological foundations of a multi-scale 3D
Evaluating the Energy Impact of Design Decisions in Web Applications
Introduction Software systems represent a significant and growing share of global energy consumption. Recent studies estimate that digital technologies account for approximately 6% of worldwide energy usage, with an annual increase of around 6.2%. This growing concern requires organizations, such as Berger-Levrault, to measure and reduce the environmental footprint of
Yearbook Research & Innovation 2025: Governed, Responsible, and reality-based Research!
We are proud to announce the publication of our 2025 Research & Innovation Yearbook! More than just an annual review, this document marks a structural shift in the way we design and conduct research. Innovation is no longer seen as a simple technological promise, but as a demanding discipline, confronted
Angular or React: Which One Consumes Less Energy?
When developers choose a frontend framework, the usual criteria come to mind: performance, ecosystem, maintainability, developer experience, and community support. But there is a factor that is almost never discussed: energy consumption! As software systems grow in scale, the environmental impact of digital technologies is becoming impossible to ignore. While
Financing Long-Term Innovation: A Strategic Lever for Research at Berger-Levrault
A Strong Commitment to Innovation As a leading industrial company in the field of software and digital services for local authorities and public-sector stakeholders, Berger-Levrault places innovation at the heart of its development strategy. In a context of accelerated digital transformation, anticipating future uses, exploring new technologies, and preparing tomorrow’s
Circular economy and Collaborative Networks: The Future of Asset Management
The global economy is shifting toward sustainability, driven by environmental urgency, regulatory demands, and evolving consumer expectations. Businesses are increasingly adopting circular economy principles, moving away from the linear “take, make, waste” model to systems that extend product lifecycles, minimize waste, and optimize resource use [Rejeb et al., 2025]. This
GitHub Copilot in an R&D Context: Experimentation Feedback and Usage Analysis
After nearly a year of daily use of GitHub Copilot in a software research and development context, here is a feedback report based on my real-world experience. I work as a full-stack developer on projects involving Python, TypeScript (Angular), as well as more transversal topics such as documentation, configuration, and
