Citizen & Digital society
After signing the “RESET manifesto” published in Le Monde, Berger-Levrault is involved in a research collaboration with the association for the Foundation of a New Internet Generation (Fing), a reference think & do tank on digital transformations. This collaboration takes the form of two projects focusing on the theme “citizens
When magic happens! Making Java and Visual Basic 6 dance together.
Visual Basic is a third-generation event-driven programming language belonging to Microsoft. It is based on the Component Object Model (COM) programming model and designed for beginners. The Last Version is the 6 (1998) and the core of FirmaDoc, our Spanish product dedicated to document and file management for public administration
A Mobile Social Robot as a tool for Nursing Homes
Over the centuries, scientific advances in medicine, pharmacology, and various surgeries have allowed the population to age healthier for longer. Our life expectancy in France has therefore now reached the age of 85.6 for women and 79.7 for men (Papon et al., 2020). This increase in life expectancy suggests an
What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)? Our Complete Report.
About Top Illustration: « Built and unveiled for the first time in 1770, the Mechanical Turk or chess-playing automaton is a famous hoax built at the end of the 18th century: it was an alleged automaton with the ability to play chess. It was partially destroyed in a fire. Nowadays a
Software Traces for Detecting Frauds in BL.Enfance
Fraudulent behaviors can be detected based on the applicative traces. In this work, we used application traces from BL.Enfance, one of our software dedicated to children’s activities billing and management. We specifically focused on detecting the modification of variables such as the family quotient (Q-CAF) and period of billing, which
Public Services’ Principles and Contractual Practice between Software Editors and Public Authorities
To make it simple, in the common sense, the “public service” is the practical way for public authorities (national and local) to implement their public policies. For instance: A university is one of the practical instruments used to implement the education and training policy; A metro company is one of
Hey Artificial Intelligence! If you want to Scan Me, please do it in 3D!
What if we could automatically count and detect objects and various pieces of equipment in a building? This would have a tremendous impact on inventory activities, daily inspections, making these tasks easier and faster. This is what we are trying to achieve here. The main idea consists in relying on
The Election Watch Project: Dear candidate, what do you propose in terms of participative democracy?
Traditionally candidates for municipal elections prepare a program including various objectives they undertake to achieve if they are elected. The last French Municipale Election made no difference despite the quite particular context of execution of the 1st round due to the sanitary crisis. Hence, we used this period to gather
AI & Data analysis for predictive maintenance of sewerage pumping system
The International Asset Performance 4.0 Conference will be held from 15 to 17 September 2020 in Belgium. On this occasion, several companies have come together to organize a Hackathon. Among them is Aquafin, a Flemish specialist in wastewater treatment. Their objective is to improve the daily maintenance management of their pumping stations, using data combined with artificial intelligence. The company thus proposes to the participants to find the best possible algorithm to predict the risks of
Data visualisation to ease planning in Infosilem Academics
The InfoSilem Academics software (previously TimeTabler) automates and simplifies the creation of academic schedules for faculties. The scheduling is centered on the notion of “deliveries”. A delivery is a combination of professors, academic blocks, and corresponding room requests, repeated at a given frequency. The software provides optimized time slots and room affectations depending on room
