Introduction: Reframing Humans and Information Systems
2010
Recent development of information and communication technologies (ICT) provides information systems (IS) designers with new potentialities to build systems for various purposes. The ongoing digital convergence refers to and discloses new views on the interactive reconfiguration of technological and social arrangements on a large scale in the contemporary society (Tilson et al. 2009). In addition to work-related activities, people use new technologies for increasingly diverse purposes, for example organizing their domestic affairs, for finding information and e-services, and for staying in touch with their friends and relatives (Lyytinen and Yoo 2002; Sorensen and Yoo 2005; Iivari et al. 201…
Nouvelles perspectives du BIM
2021
Les dernières avancées dans la modélisation des informations du bâtiment et la maquette numérique ont permis d'améliorer l'efficacité des livraisons et performances, en catalysant des méthodes de travail innovantes dans le domaine général de l'architecture, de l'ingénierie et de la construction (AEC). Malgré les nombreux outils et technologies numériques et les différentes normes ouvertes BIM, il demeure un besoin croissant d'interopérabilité entre acteurs et logiciels.Allant de cas d'études constitués par des projets industriels réels à des projets recherche, les six chapitres de cet ouvrage témoignent de l'intérêt de la filière et des entreprises pour adapter et faire évoluer leurs pratiq…
Scheduling independent stochastic tasks under deadline and budget constraints
2018
This article discusses scheduling strategies for the problem of maximizing the expected number of tasks that can be executed on a cloud platform within a given budget and under a deadline constraint. The execution times of tasks follow independent and identically distributed probability laws. The main questions are how many processors to enroll and whether and when to interrupt tasks that have been executing for some time. We provide complexity results and an asymptotically optimal strategy for the problem instance with discrete probability distributions and without deadline. We extend the latter strategy for the general case with continuous distributions and a deadline and we design an ef…
Understanding the human behaviors in dynamic urban areas of interest
2020
International audience; The fast growth of urban populations across evolving cities is resulting in new types of technical, physical, material, and safety-related challenges and constraints (Chen et al. 2019). Humans perceive, move, and perform actions (called behaviors) in different urban areas, and make interactions with the objects, the other humans, and the environment for achieving their goals for attaining the desired level of satisfaction (Wagner et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2015). More formally, human behaviors are observable actions or reactions of humans in response to external or internal stimuli (Wagner et al., 2018; Hong et al., 2015; Yan et al., 2015). Over the last decade, huma…

A Route toward Protein Sequencing using Solid-State Nanopores Assisted by Machine Learning
2022
Solid-State Nanopores made of 2-D materials such as MoS2 have emerged as one of the most versatile sensors for single-biomolecule detection, which is essential for early disease diagnosis (biomarker detection). One of the most promising applications of SSN is DNA and protein sequencing, at a low cost and faster than the current standard methods. The detection principle relies on measuring the relatively small variations of ionic current as charged biomolecules immersed in an electrolyte traverse the nanopore, in response to an external voltage applied across the membrane. The passage of a biomolecule through the pore yields information about its structure and chemical properties, as demonst…
Computer-assisted enumeration and classification of multi-qubit doilies
2022
For N ≥ 2, an N-qubit doily is a doily living in the N-qubit symplectic polar space. These doilies are related to operator-based proofs of quantum contextuality. Following and extending the strategy of [SdBHG21] that focused exclusively on three-qubit doilies, we first bring forth several formulas giving the number of both linear and quadratic doilies for any N > 2. Then we present an effective algorithm for the generation of all N-qubit doilies. Using this algorithm for N = 4 and N = 5, we provide a classification of N-qubit doilies in terms of types of observables they feature and number of negative lines they are endowed with.
In Situ, Airborne Instrumentation: Addressing and Solving Measurement Problems in Ice Clouds
2012
The workshop on in situ airborne instrumentation: addressing and solving measurement problems in ice clouds, June 25-27, 2010, Oregon, aimed to identify unresolved questions concerning ice formation and evolution in ice clouds, assess the current state of instrumentation that can address these problems, introduce emerging technology that may overcome current measurement issues, and recommend future courses of action to improve our understanding of ice cloud microphysical. Eleven presentations were made covering measurement challenges associated measuring the composition and concentration of all the modes of ice nuclei (IN), measuring the morphology, mass, surface, and optical properties of …
The BioS4You European project: An innovative way to effectively engage Z-generation students in STEM disciplines
2021
In this contribution, we present the BioS4You project and analyse the results obtained in the first 18 months of its activity. The “Bio-Inspired STEM topics for engaging young generations” (BioS4You) Erasmus+ KA2 Innovation project aims to bridge the gap between STEM national curricula (which include Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the needs of Z-generation students, uninterested to basic themes, but enthusiastic in issues related to environmental, social, and health concerns. The BioS4You project engages young learners in STEM subjects, starting with current issues of interest for them, as the social and environmental impact of new technologies, connecting STEM conce…
Anomaly‐based intrusion detection systems: The requirements, methods, measurements, and datasets
2021
International audience; With the Internet's unprecedented growth and nations' reliance on computer networks, new cyber‐attacks are created every day as means for achieving financial gain, imposing political agendas, and developing cyberwarfare arsenals. Network security is thus acquiring increasing attention among researchers, practitioners, network architects, policy makers, and others. To defend organizations' networks from existing, foreseen, and future threats, intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are becoming a must. Existing surveys on anomaly‐based IDS (AIDS) focus on specific components such as detection mechanisms and lack many others. In contrast to existing surveys, this article co…
