Eco-conception

Everything on Earth is made from 90 chemical elements – but some of them are endangered elements that could get used up, the European Chemical Society warns.

Volkswagen make clean diesel engines. Like really clean diesel. Or so they claimed. Their Clean Diesel technology was a key selling feature of some of their most popular vehicles. Then in 2015, it all fell apart when the US Environmental Protection Agency found that real world NOx emissions from their vehicles were forty times higher than in laboratory tests. To make it worse, this was not an accident. Volkswagen had programmed their engine management system to identify when a vehicle was going through an emissions test and modify engine performance to reduce emissions during the testing cycle. This was not only misleading, it was illegal. The deception affected 11 million cars worldwide and became known as the Dieselgate scandal, probably the best known example of corporate greenwashing.

Constat : avec l’âge nos applications prennent du poidsAvec l’accroissement des possibilités de stockage offertes par les smartphones et l’augmentation de la bande passante disponible, nos apps n’ont cessé de “prendre du poids” au cours du temps.

Depuis son origine, le génie logiciel s’est attaché à élaborer des méthodes, concepts et outils pour réduire significativement les coûts liés au développement (maintenance, réutilisation...) des logiciels, garantir leur intégrité, fiabilité... Cependant, pour relever le défi de la transition écologique, une nouvelle préoccupation doit être intégrée dans tous ces artefacts : le coût environnemental. Ainsi, le génie logiciel « éco-responsable » est la branche qui s’intéresse à l’efficience énergétique et à la durabilité des logiciels. Nous dégageons notamment 6 grandes pistes de recherche qui, combinées, peuvent apporter des réponses à la hauteur des enjeux.

I’ve seen a lot of reports in recent years stating that consumers want to buy more eco-friendly and socially responsible products and services. Just as examples, a 2020 report from McKinsey found that two thirds of consumers consider sustainability when making a purchase, and research from YouGov

Invest in inflation. It’s the only thing going up. That was a joke made around a century ago by actor and Mayor of Beverly Hills, Will Rogers. It seems just as appropriate now as everyone is feeling things getting more expensive. Food, energy, clothes, books, holidays, houses, cars, education. You name it and it’s going up in price.
