    International audienceIn this work, we propose a framework for automatic dependency evaluation that can notify the changes of the elderly dependency, hence providing persons with required services in time. In order to validate our approach, we target the French dependent population. Especially, we focus our proposal on the AGGIR dependency model used in the French medical field. Our objective is to provide a flexible architecture and an extensible model linked to opened data that can refer to a wide variety of services (hardware sensors and software; simple or composed services)

    Towards an Integrated Full-Stack Green Software Development Methodology

    Existing green/eco responsible approaches for IT are frequently domain-specific and very focused on one topic. For example, some works are focused on saving energy with better virtual machine management on cloud infrastructures or data management in wireless sensor networks, in order to minimize the data transfers and sensors’ wakeups. Nevertheless, they consider only limited aspects in the whole software development process; indeed, very few researches propose a global approach. In this context, we envision a green development methodology that approaches energy saving aspects from the design phase and at all the system layers (software, hardware, user requirements, execution contexts, etc.), which can provide positive leverage as well as avoid side effects (one decision can be positive at one system layer but may trigger negative impact on other layers). We motivate the interest of this vision and describe key ideas regarding how to address these considerations in the development methodology

    Behavior-Based Consumption Profiles for the Approximation of the Energy Consumption of Services

    Regardless of the improvements in the efficiency of energy consumption of information and communication technology, energy consumption will forever be a requisite for software execution. Consequently, researchers have promoted the development of green and sustainable software with new development methods and tools. These, however, have been adopted with limited success due to technicalities and specific language/platform requirements. In this paper we introduce a portion of our Behavior-Based Consumption Profiles (BBCP). A platform and language agnostic software behavior profiling approach, aimed at estimating the energy consumption of software from the analysis and design phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The profiles, in a JSON format, contain properties whose values provide and control specific descriptions of the software’s behavior. Throughout the paper, these properties and their underlying mechanics are explained from a perspective of software services, to conclude with an experiment where a real-world service is profiled and its BBCP is simulated to obtain its behavior

    New neutron detector based on Micromegas technology for ADS projects

    A new neutron detector based on Micromegas technology has been developed for the measurement of the simulated neutron spectrum in the ADS project. After the presentation of simulated neutron spectra obtained in the interaction of 140 MeV protons with the spallation target inside the TRIGA core, a full description of the new detector configuration is given. The advantage of this detector compared to conventional neutron flux detectors and the results obtained with the first prototype at the CELINA 14 MeV neutron source facility at CEA-Cadarache are presented. The future developments of operational Piccolo-Micromegas for fast neutron reactors are also described
