The Seine River and its basin (70 000 km2, 500 m3/s mean annual discharge) are studied since 1989 by an interdisciplinary research programme (https://www.piren-seine.fr/). The river receives the effluents of about 17 M inhab (70% from Paris conurbation) and from industries. Intensive agriculture using agrochemicals is another cause of water quality...

Research on image quality assessment (IQA) remains limited mainly due to our incomplete knowledge about human visual perception. Existing IQA algorithms have been designed or trained with insufficient subjective data with a small degree of stimulus variability. This has led to challenges for those algorithms to handle complexity and diversity of re...

The exposure to particulate matter (PM) has become a major issue in the last decade since it is responsible for the enhancement of several adverse health effects. These troubles include respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Trains generate and resuspend particles when they brake. Combined with confinement effects in underground stations it leads...
This chapter presents the results of a study aiming at restricting the flow of information exchanged between various agents in a coalition. More precisely, when an agent expresses a need of information, we suggest sending only the information that is the most useful for this particular agent to act. This requires the characterization of “the most u...
As a response to the worldwide challenge raised by soil degradation, Conservation Agriculture (CA) was proposed to help restoring the three main soil functions, i.e. carbon transformation, nutrient cycling and structure maintenance. However, there is still a lack of integrative studies that assess the overall impact of CA on soil health. To fill th...
Formal methods and static analysis are widely used in software development, in particular in the context of safety-critical systems. They can be used to prove that the software behaviour complies to its specification: the software correctness. In this article, we address another usage of these methods: the verification of the quality of the source ...

Nous définissons tout d'abord ce qu'est un indicateur : un outil simplifié d'évaluation ou de mesure dont nous listons les critères de qualité, qui appartiennent à trois domaines - la représentativité, l'opérationnalité et l'aide à la décision. Un indicateur est en outre toujours spécifique à un objet particulier. Avant de construire ou d'évaluer d...
