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 DevOps. Over the months, GitHub Copilot has established itself as a tool that is both powerful and imperfect. It has
AI and Edge Computing at the service of IoT : Realization of an Augmented Sensor

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
