Modeling avengers – open source technology mix for saving the worldCédric Brun
Planet earth is facing massive challenges: global warming and scarcity of natural resources among others. Those challenges are reaching a level of complexity unknown yet and trying to address those requires deep scientific understanding, real world data, specialized tools, inter-disciplinary collaboration and the ability to evaluate “What If” scenarios.
In collaboration with scientists from INRA (the French National Institute for Agricultural Research) we experienced one of those challenges: the use of natural resources for agricultural activities, especially water consumption. While the scientists insight was required in smart technologies like smart farms, this understanding was required to be expressed at an higher level of abstraction through specific tooling. They felt that providing highly dedicated tools with a small budget would require super powers. To us modeling people it looked like a very good fit for DSL’s (Domain Specific Languages), hence suitable for an experiment : let’s build specific modeling tools for smart farming systems!
This experiment represents a few days of work bringing open-source technologies together: EMF, Xtext, Sirius, Gemoc (a model debugging environment, including specific features for concurrency constraints), OptaPlanner (a constraint satisfaction solver from the JBoss community) and Acceleo, resulting in a collection of Eclipse based tools for farming systems (published on github). Just like in The Avengers, each technology bring its own capability but it is the amalgamation of all of them which lead to amazing power!
The session will start with a demo of the Smart Farming System Tooling, an environment to model, analyze and simulate an agricultural exploitation, biomass growth and water consumption based on user input and open data. Then we will dig deeper in how the technologies are mixed and used, among other questions: which of the textual or graphical syntax is better suited for a given aspect? how can we achieve a “perfect blend” of those syntaxes? how OptaPlanner and EMF can create a powerful synergy? how data from INRA can be structured and fed into the tool?
The talk will then evaluate how useful open-source technologies are in addressing this class of problems and how modeling can be used to support sustainability, enable broader engagement of the community, and facilitate more informed decision-making.
Gerhana Matahari Total terjadi sekitar setiap 18 bulan di lokasi yang berbeda di Bumi, dan bukan fenomena yang langka. Gerhana terakhir di Indonesia terjadi pada 1995 dan berikutnya akan terjadi pada 2023. Secara rata-rata, Gerhana Matahari Total akan kembali ke lokasi yang sama dalam waktu 375 tahun, meskipun angka ini dapat bervariasi.
La electrólisis es un proceso que permite descomponer un compuesto químico en sus elementos mediante la acción de la corriente eléctrica. Requiere una fuente de energía continua, como una batería, y la presencia de iones en la sustancia. La corriente eléctrica atrae los iones a los electrodos, donde ocurren reacciones de oxidación-reducción que producen nuevas sustancias. Tiene aplicaciones importantes como la fabricación de metales y recubrimientos, así como en la purificación de materiales.
The document discusses various techniques for boosting creativity, including association, combination, and fragmentation. It provides examples of exercises like warmup games, silent association, and brainstorming with rules to suspend judgement and encourage wild ideas. Group activities are recommended like combining words and images or developing concepts for an unusual business concept. The overall message is that generating a large number of ideas is important for creativity, and techniques can help stimulate novel connections and thinking.
The document repeatedly lists the full citation for a handbook on cognition and emotion edited by Tim Dalgleish and Mick J. Power and published in 1999 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. It provides the title of the book, the editors, the publisher, the year published, and the ISBN number.

Ray Allen first met Tony Squire at a basketball tournament where Squire recognized Allen's talent and arranged for him to play for the Squires AAU program to gain more exposure. The following summer, Allen lived with Squire in Richmond and played in elite tournaments. Squire introduced Allen to Kevin Garnett, who also played for the Squires. During Allen's recruitment to UConn, coach Jim Calhoun told Squire that Allen's mother said Squire would be involved in the process. Both Allen and Garnett have remained ambassadors for the Squires program since their time playing for them.
