This paper presents experiments of PM10 data assimilation with the optimal interpolation method. The observations are provided by BDQA (Base de Données sur la Qualité de l'Air), whose monitoring network covers France. Two other databases (EMEP and AirBase) are used to e...

Special issue on Software Engineering Curriculum Development; International audience; As new software engineering techniques emerge, there's a cognitive shift in how developers approach a problem's analysis and how they design and implement its software-based solution. ...

In a first part, we prove a Lyapunov-type criterion for the $\xi\_1$-positive recurrence of absorbed birth and death processes and provide new results on the domain of attraction of the minimal quasi-stationary distribution. In a second part, we study the ergodicity and...

International audience; We consider the problem of exploring an anonymous undirected graph using an oblivious robot. The studied exploration strategies are designed so that the next edge in the robot's walk is chosen using only local information. In this paper, we prese...

International audience; In this paper, we report on user behaviors by analyzing visual clues while users are watching various TV broadcast in pilot settings. We detail the first results of the empathic analysis of viewers watching four distinct videos in dedicated recor...

International audience; Artificial central pattern generators (CPGs) framework is well adapted to the control of bio-mimetic systems during rhythmic tasks like locomotion. They have the ability to reproduce biological behavior as well as to be used as feedforward contro...

International audience; When considering distributed computing, reliable message-passing synchronous systems on the one side, and asynchronous failure-prone shared-memory systems on the other side, remain two quite independently studied ends of the relia-bility/asynchro...

In this paper, the discriminant scheme of homogeneous polynomials is studied in two particular cases: the case of a single homogeneous polynomial and the case of a collection of n − 1 homogeneous polynomials in $${n\geqslant 2}$$ variables. In both situations, a normali...

Systems programming often requires the manipulation of resources like file handles, network connections, or dynamically allocated memory. Programmers need to follow certain protocols to handle these resources correctly. Violating these protocols causes bugs ranging from...

International audience; Project Sherpam (Sensors for HEalth Recording and Physical Activity Moni-torint) aims to provide an open-source, exible, customizable solution to monitor continuously the health state of patients with chronic conditions during their daily activit...
