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 duplicated effort and inconsistent feature quality across tools. LSP addresses this by decoupling the editor experience from language-specific logic. Instead

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
