    It is well known that smartphones are energy greedy and their batteries do not last more than a few days. Since mobile phones consumption increased faster than batteries capacities it becomes important to find new ways to reduce their energy consumption. We claim that people using GPS location service everyday should not pay a full energy-cost since most of the time their are taking the same path to commute. Based on these observations, we developed a new implementation of the location API built from Android Location API, which is capable of learning and predict user location on time with an average accuracy of 50 meters while saving energy.Il est gĂ©nĂ©ralement admis que les smartphones sont des appareils qui consomment Ă©normĂ©ment d'Ă©nergie et qui nĂ©cessitent d'ĂȘtre rechargĂ©s rĂ©guliĂšrement. Cet Ă©tat de fait est en partie liĂ© Ă  l'Ă©volution de la consommation de ces derniers qui augmente plus rapidement que celle de la capacitĂ© des batteries. Aussi, nous observons qu'une grande partie de la population utilise la localisation par GPS quotidiennement et en parcourant gĂ©nĂ©ralement les mĂȘmes routes afin de, par exemple, connaĂźtre les conditions de circulation ou du temps restant. Á partir de ces observations, nous proposons une nouvelle mise en {\oe}uvre de l'API de localisation, basĂ©e sur celle d'Android, capable d'apprendre et de prĂ©dire la position des utilisateurs avec une prĂ©cision moyenne de cinquante mĂštres tout en diminuant sa consommation au fil du temps

    Knowledge formalization in experience feedback processes : an ontology-based approach

    Because of the current trend of integration and interoperability of industrial systems, their size and complexity continue to grow making it more difficult to analyze, to understand and to solve the problems that happen in their organizations. Continuous improvement methodologies are powerful tools in order to understand and to solve problems, to control the effects of changes and finally to capitalize knowledge about changes and improvements. These tools involve suitably represent knowledge relating to the concerned system. Consequently, knowledge management (KM) is an increasingly important source of competitive advantage for organizations. Particularly, the capitalization and sharing of knowledge resulting from experience feedback are elements which play an essential role in the continuous improvement of industrial activities. In this paper, the contribution deals with semantic interoperability and relates to the structuring and the formalization of an experience feedback (EF) process aiming at transforming information or understanding gained by experience into explicit knowledge. The reuse of such knowledge has proved to have significant impact on achieving themissions of companies. However, the means of describing the knowledge objects of an experience generally remain informal. Based on an experience feedback process model and conceptual graphs, this paper takes domain ontology as a framework for the clarification of explicit knowledge and know-how, the aim of which is to get lessons learned descriptions that are significant, correct and applicable

    Towards cognitive engineering workbenches considering the time for the intelligent design of operator assistance tools

    International audienceIn this article, we will first of all study the problematic issues of knowledges and of temporal strategies used by the human operator in the control rooms of complex industrial process. We will then check off and discuss the different tools and the current knowledge engineering workbenches which are susceptible to make the knowledge acquisition, structuralization and formalization easier for the ergonomist and the knowledge engineer. Finally, we will emphasize on certain temporal tools available in Artificial Intelligence which can contribute to the development of knowledge engineering workbench considering explicitly the time

    Le rĂŽle du pharmacien d'officine dans la prise en charge des escarres

    No full text
    Suite au vieillissement de la population, la prĂ©valence de l escarre tend Ă  augmenter. Sa prise en charge est multidisciplinaire, et fait notamment intervenir le pharmacien. En ville, ce dernier est un interlocuteur de proximitĂ© qui se met Ă  la portĂ©e de tous pour ĂȘtre un lien entre les patients et les autres acteurs de santĂ©. Son rĂŽle est peu Ă©voquĂ© dans la littĂ©rature alors qu il peut intervenir Ă  tous les niveaux de la prise en charge de l escarre. Il peut apporter ses connaissances et ĂȘtre un atout dans cette dynamique de soins. Pour optimiser cette mission de santĂ©, le pharmacien d officine peut se munir d outils utiles Ă  la fois pour la dĂ©livrance de pansements ou de matĂ©riels, mais aussi pour l agencement de l officine et le conseil auprĂšs du patient.LILLE2-BU SantĂ©-Recherche (593502101) / SudocSudocFranceF
