Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement ... (N.Boileau)

le groupe "Transformations de programmes et de modèles" du GDR GPL et l'action "Ingénierie des modèles" a organisé une réunion commune pour faire le point sur les enjeux et les verrous en transformations de modèles. Un compte-rendu de ces journées est disponible.

La société CS participe activement aux RMLL à travers les ateliers suivants:

=> Procédures stockées en PL/PostgreSQL
=> PostgreSQL : PITR et LogShipping

Les RMLL (http://2008.rmll.info/), Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre sont l'occasion pour tous les publics de se rencontrer autour des logiciels libres. Pendant 5 jours, des conférences et des ateliers sont ouverts à tous. Cet évènement est organisé chaque année et pour la 9ème édition, c'est la ville de Mont de Marsan qui accueillera la manifestation du 1er au 5 juillet 2008 ...

Scaling up and Paradigm Shifts : Are software & systems engineering ready for speciation?
Large dimensions, high complexity, self-management, and ubiquity characterize today’s computer systems. It is expected that these features will be emphasized and prevail in systems to come, whether they relate to civilian, governmental or business applications. They call for entirely new approaches for designing, implementing, validating, maintaining, and exploiting software intensive systems.
With regard to the enterprise computing space, an evolution much sought for is driven by the need to bring business and IT together, i.e. to shift control of processes from IT professionals to business experts in order to scaling up business process management to support process of higher complexity.
Concerning software engineering a new approach, Model-Driven Engineering, upon which it is based, no longer considers the source code as a central element of software, it is rather considered as an element derived from model units. More generally, the source code becomes an element derived from the fusion or interweaving of model units. This approach becomes more and more important in the context of software and hardware architectures driven by standards such as MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) proposed by the standards authority OMG, Microsoft's Software Factories or IBM's proposal of EMF (Eclipse Modeling Software) tools.

Co-organized by TELECOM ParisTech, CS, and the “Génie Logiciel” quarterly, the 21st edition of the ICSSEA Conference (International Conference on Software & Systems Engineering and their Applications) will be held in Paris on December 9-11, 2008.

Aims at providing a critical survey of the current status of tools, methods, and processes for elaborating software & systems, in gathering actors from the enterprise and research worlds. However, lectures and discussions will be conducted with the evolution of software & system engineering as a leitmotiv.

Papers submitted, original and unpublished, may concern industrial implementations or experiments, describe significant results from ongoing projects as well as research results susceptible of industrial applications, deal with socioeconomic issues associated with software & systems engineering, or propose tool demonstrations and posters. They should clearly describe the nature of the work presented, explain its contribution, highlight its novel features, and state precisely its current status.

L'édition 2008 de l'École Systèmes de systèmes se déroulera à Paris du 22 au 23 avril 2008. Vous pouvez vous inscrire sur le site de l'École SdS

A noter deux papiers très intéressants sur l'Ingénierie de systèmes publiés par Génie Logiciel. Le langage de modélisation de systèmes, SysML par Y.Pollet et Modélisation SysML par l'exemple par P.Leblanc. A lire sans modération !!!

Le programme des 4ièmes journées IDM est désormais disponible. Cette année c'est Mulhouse qui reçoit. Ces journées essentiellement orientées recherche sont complémentaires aux journées NEPTUNE qui mixent la recherche et l'industrie. Ne manquez pas cet évènement !!!

Les journées NEPTUNE'2008 se sont déroulées comme prévu les 8 et 9 avril à TélécomParisTech (ancien ENST), elles ont eu un franc succès. La première journée était suivie par environ 65 personnes, la deuxième par 50 (environ 90 inscrits au total). A noter les très belles prestations de Frank Barbier: Introduction aux technologies IDM, Bertrand Meyer: Développement en continu avec composants, objets et contrats et de Michel Lacroix: MDE in the European Commission IST and ICT funded projects. Les sujets issus des tables rondes et qui vont alimenter l'approche MDE dans un avenir proche sont: l'interopérabilité: comment faire communiquer des systèmes conçus initialement de manière autonome et MD SOA: Le MDE versus services !!, à suivre ... Les transparents sont disponibles sur le site NEPTUNE. Les actes seront publiés par la revue Génie logiciel numéro 85 du mois de juin.
