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 green software engineering research has traditionally focused on servers, cloud infrastructure, and backend optimization, the frontend remains a blind spot.
🇫🇷 Une analyse automatique du language du “Grand Debat National”
PREAMBULE Cette page propose des résultats d’analyse du corpus du Grand Débat National réalisé au sein de la DRI à Berger-Levrault. L’objectif de cette page est d’illustrer des analyses possibles sur ce type de corpus textuel. Nous nous sommes efforcés d’etre le plus transparent possible dans les techniques effectuées.

Automatic software migration: from GWT to Angular
Support for the automation of Web application interface migration: the case of GWT to Angular During the evolution of an application, it is sometimes necessary to migrate its implementation to a different programming language and/or Graphical User Interface (GUI) framework. Web GUI frameworks in particular evolve at a fast pace. For example, in 2018 there
Robustness & Management of Uncertainty in planning
Context The aging population and increasing life expectancy, as we can see today in France and in other developed countries, lead to an increase in the number of the elderly with loss of autonomy and in dangers caused by frailty. In particular, they suffer from chronic diseases with a long-term need for assistance. They largely
Digital trust
We speak about Trust, digital trust and the reason why its’ important for the company and the future. No apprehesion, fear when we put the data on paper (forms, books). Process by continous support. Recent period, software company. BL software company. Trust was not so far : whitout many links with the ecosystem. Security only,
Software interoperability
Interoperability Assessment Based on Analysis of Messages Exchanges Once Information Systems (IS) are put into production, they are mostly part of distributed networks. If these systems are able to share and exchange information without depending on a particular actor and are able to use the exchanged information and function independently from each other, we can
3D deep learning on terrestrial LiDAR scanned urban environments for objects monitoring
Large urban agglomerations nowadays are facing some major issues such as economic restrictions, environmental challenges, global and systemic approaches in city management [8]. One of them is to precisely monitor urban objects which can be natural (trees), artificial (traffic lights or poles), static or moving (cars). This is essential to analyze their mutual interaction (for
Personalized Visits to Foster Engagement and Revisit in Museums
Context With the growing competition of entertainment industry, museums are facing new challenges. They must reach a wider audience, build local visitors’ loyalty and tailor their content to the diversity of this public. Relying on temporary exhibitions or guided tours is too expensive for small museums which makes it hard for them to diversify the
