Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector The field of software engineering seeks to devise theories, methods, tools, and techniques that support the development, operation, and evolution of the digital infrastructure modern society relies on. While the software engineering capabilities have advanced substantially over the past decades, it remains challenging to deliver high quality systems in a timely and cost-effective manner. Government system in particular have a weak reputation in this respect.To better understand why, we analyze 125 complex software projects in the public sector in The Netherlands. The projects are described in public reports published by the Advisory Council on IT Assessments (AcICT), which advises the Dutch parliament and cabinet on riks and chances of success in complex Information Technology (IT) projects. The projects span a time period of 10 years, represent a total budget of over 14 billion Euros, and cover such areas as tax collection, social security, pensions, health, traffic control, defense, or water management.We study these reports through the lens of "explainability", focusing on supporting decision making. Furthermore, we reflect on current advances in software engineering, including modern software testing and large language models, in addressing current software engineering challenges.

Fin novembre 2024, l’UNamur a accueilli le 23ème congrès de BENEVOL, un séminaire de recherche annuel qui donne la possibilité aux chercheurs internationaux de se rencontrer et de discuter de nouvelles idées, de questions importantes et de recherches de pointe dans le domaine du génie, de la maintenance et de l'évolution des logiciels.  

Professeur de linguistique appliquée et de multilinguisme à l’Université de Londres (Birkbeck et Institute of Education à University College London), Jean-Marc Dewaele est un expert des émotions dans l’apprentissage des langues. Ayant grandi en Flandre dans un environnement bilingue, il s’est très tôt intéressé aux interactions entre langues et identités. Il est invité à l’Université de Namur dans le cadre de la Chaire Francqui internationale 2024-2025, intitulée "Multilingualism and language learning. Challenges & Opportunities" en partenariat avec la VUB et l’UGent.  Il partage son expertise et met en lumière l’importance des recherches scientifiques sur le multilinguisme et l’acquisition des langues.

Du 17 au 19 juin, le département de philosophie de l’UNamur reçoit le XVIème Congrès international du Groupe International de recherche sur Nietzsche (GIRN).  Fondé en 2008 par Giuliano Campioni et Patrick Wotling, le GIRN entend développer la coopération internationale dans l’étude des enjeux actuels de la pensée de Nietzsche. Le thème de cette année porte sur un ouvrage fascinant : Ecce homo. Comment on devient ce qu’on est.

Cette dernière décennie a vu la commercialisation de nombreux casques de réalité mixte. Certains ciblent un usage récréatif occasionnel (par exemple, le Meta Quest 3), d'autres sont commercialisés comme des plateformes informatiques de nouvelle génération (par exemple, l'Apple Vision Pro). À mesure que ces dispositifs s'intègrent dans notre vie quotidienne, ils redéfinissent la manière dont nous---en tant qu'êtres humains---interagissons avec eux.Leur nature diffère significativement des dispositifs informatiques traditionnels (par exemple, les ordinateurs ou les smartphones), ce qui introduit de multiples changements de paradigme induits par plusieurs facteurs. D'une part, ils intègrent et démocratisent divers capteurs permettant d'utiliser le regard, les gestes de la main et la parole comme moyens d'interaction, servant ainsi de vecteurs efficaces pour l'adoption d'interfaces utilisateur multimodales. D'autre part, leur nature portable implique des changements contextuels continus qui modifient fondamentalement la conception des interfaces et redéfinissent l'interaction homme-machine à mesure que leur usage devient omniprésent.Pour mieux comprendre de tels systèmes, cette recherche est divisée en trois axes. Premièrement, nous immergeons des utilisateurs dans un environnement pervasif délibérément construit afin d'explorer leurs perceptions tout en examinant leurs attitudes vis-à-vis de la gestion de contenus intrusifs par des interventions manuelles, mettant ainsi en lumière des besoins émergeant de tels contextes. Deuxièmement, nous explorons de nouveaux canaux de communication en exploitant des métaphores et en concevant des techniques d'interaction qui utilisent plusieurs modalités pour permettre une communication plus naturelle, répondant ainsi aux besoins qui émergent d'un usage pervasif. Enfin, après avoir conçu des techniques d'interaction multimodales, nous examinons les exigences techniques et passons en revue les outils existants qui soutiennent le développement d'interfaces utilisateur multimodales, identifions les limitations de certains de ces outils, et y remédions par l'introduction d'un nouvel outil, intitulé Ummi.À travers ces trois perspectives complémentaires, cette thèse traite six questions de recherche et contribue aux domaines de la réalité mixte et de l'interaction multimodale.Le juryProf. Vincent Englebert - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Bruno Dumas - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Xavier Devroey - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Marcos Serrano - Université de Toulouse, FranceProf. Denis Lalanne - Université de Fribourg, SuisseEvènement gratuit sur inscription.

Cette thèse propose d’analyser la transformation de la subjectivation et de l’événement révolutionnaire à partir des œuvres de Walter Benjamin et de Gilles Deleuze.Méthodologiquement, il s’agit moins de comparer ces deux auteurs ou de postuler l’existence d’une pensée commune que d’opérer un « collage », au sens proposé dans Différence et répétition, afin de mettre, par juxtaposition, des éléments disparates en relief et en tension.Sur le plan théorique, l’enjeu est de rendre compte des ruptures avec les chaînes causales et signifiantes que donnent à voir les moments révolutionnaires. Dans cette perspective, nous prolongeons l’idée deleuzo-guattarienne d’« utopie d’immanence ». Élaborée à l’occasion d’un rapprochement fugace avec l’École de Francfort, elle situe la politique révolutionnaire dans un non-lieu : en dehors des stratifications et à rebours des formations sociales. Poussée dans le dos par une impulsion benjaminienne, cette notion est dépliée dans sa dimension négative.En retour, la tradition des opprimés se voit entraînée sur ce plan d’immanence. Loin de dresser des continuités souterraines entre minorités constituées, elle consiste dans l’exploration d’un champ de ruines à partir duquel il devient possible de rompre avec la culture et l’humanité figées en des formes monumentales.Le juryProf. Louis CARRÉ (Président), UNamurProf. Sébastien LAOUREUX (Promoteur, Secrétaire), UNamurProf. Éric ALLIEZ (Co-promoteur), Université Paris 8Prof. Jacques-Olivier BÉGOT, Université de RennesProf. Maud HAGELSTEIN, ULiègeProf. Frédéric RAMBEAU, Université Paris 8Vous êtes cordialement invités à assister à cette soutenance.La proclamation sera suivie d’un drink à la Salle académique.
