Automatic software migration: Business/services
Mono2Micro: From Monolithic Software to Versatile Microservices Over the past decade, there has been a significant paradigm shift towards cloud computing and web services. As organizations try to keep up with the latest trends, there has been a demand for shifting legacy systems to the Cloud. The microservice-oriented architecture (MSA) is a recent architectural style that has
Automatic Detection of Anomalies in systems behaviors
Nowadays, industrial systems maintenance uses the principle of Digital Twin to predict future issues. Sensors placed on the different parts of the system emit a signal that characterize its behavior. The study of these time signals in real time allow us to detect unusual behaviors preceding a breakdown. However, the sensors signals can be unreliable

BL.SenseLife: Healthy Ageing Co-Design and Management Platform
Healthy ageing is “the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age” (WHO, 2015). Frailty is a clinical and a social syndrome relative to ageing. In medical context, frailty characterizes an intermediate state between robust health and the loss of autonomy. It points the beginning of the decline in
The legal impact of digitalisation of administration on public services
The digital transformation does not only concern the private sector, even though it’s frequently described as more innovative. From computerisation of public administration in the 60’ to the latest applications of artificial intelligence by territorial authorities, public action seems more and more digitalised (and still “in digitalisation”). Therefore, this public action in practice resulting in
🇫🇷 L’IA au service des collectivités locales
https://www.research-bl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/frigg-1-online-video-cutter.com_.mp4 En France, les collectivités se différencient selon plusieurs caractéristiques telles que les budgets qu’elles utilisent au cours d’une année, les investissements qu’elles opèrent et enfin les dettes qu’elles contractent. Le but étant d’apporter une aide aux collectivités locales en développant un modèle capable d’apporter une aide à la prise de décision en leur permettant

CONTEXTE Les documents des marchés publics manifestent une hétérogénéité importante et des similarités trompeuses. Autrement dit, ces documents contiennent généralement des informations typiques comme le nom de l’organisme public, son code SIRET, sa géolocalisation, des dates, les critères et les modalités de choix des candidats, etc. Toutefois, ces informations sont généralement présentées sans aucun format
Blockchain for interoperability
Interoperability is the possibility for different systems to communicate with each other without depending on a particular actor. It is based on the use of an open standard Context The sharing of data between information systems (IS) becomes essential to ensure communication between these IS. This exchange has consequences of compatibility (because of heterogeneous data
