Méthodes agiles : la conception logicielle appliquée au monde physique Par Fabien Eychenne le 31/10/12 | 15 commentaires | 15,887 lectures | Impression Depuis une quinzaine d’années, la majorité des développements de logiciels s’appuie sur des méthodes dites “agiles”. Sous cette bannière se regroupent plusieurs méthodes basées sur un développement itératif et incrémental, dans lequel la recherche de solutions aux problèmes rencontrés s’appuie sur la collaboration de pair à pair. Elle promeut des réponses rapides et flexibles, une planification des tâches adaptatives dans des laps de temps très courts permettant une très grande réactivité. L’objectif central est de trouver de meilleurs moyens de développer des logiciels. Le 4 octobre 2012, à l’Ecole nationale de création industrielle (Ensci), Joe Justice donnait une conférence et un atelier sur le thème des méthodes agiles (voir la vidéo de son intervention).

Les dispositifs créatifs en questions (1/2) : ce que la créativité libère Il n’est pas toujours facile de montrer aux gens qu’on peut innover simplement et rapidement – surtout dans des secteurs qui paraissent, a priori, rétifs à l’innovation. Nos routines quotidiennes nous empêchent bien souvent de trouver des solutions pour faire les choses autrement. Cela ne signifie pas qu’il faille faire tout ce que l’on fait autrement, mais interroger nos pratiques permet toujours d’introduire des moments de réflexivité pour tenter de les améliorer. D’où l’idée, ravivée notamment par les premiers Barcamps ou les interventions de designers dans le champ de l’innovation sociale, de créer des évènements, pour imaginer faire autrement… et le montrer concrètement. C’est, il me semble, le véritable enjeu de MuseoMix, un évènement dont la 2e édition se tenait du 19 au 21 octobre 2012 au musée Gallo-romain de Lyon, qui est un bon exemple pour questionner les dispositifs créatifs, en comprendre leurs forces et leurs limites. Dispositifs créatifs : l’exemple de MuseoMix 1.
instrumentos #OAbooks in the HSS: Contexts, Conversations, Technologies and Communities of Practice | OPEN REFLECTIONS Last week I attended the first major conference entirely dedicated to Open Access books in the HSS, in the British Library, organised by OAPEN and JISC. The two-day conference had a fantastic line-up of keynote speakers, established and new experimental projects in open access book publishing, and practical strands on funding, publishing for scholars and the Open Access supply chain. The atmosphere was great, attendance high and everything looked very promising. Underneath my notes to some of what I thought were the highlights of the conference: the talks by Jean-Claude Guédon and Kathleen Fitzpatrick, and the showcases by the Open Library of the Humanities, the Hybrid Publishing Lab, and Mpublishing. But there were many other interesting talks, such as Cameron Neylon’s keynote, showcases by Open Book Publishers, OpenEdition, etc. etc. I also gave a talk at the conference: Find a reputable OA publisher – Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). Context trumps content Dynamic Publishing
L'affordance des livres numériques Joseph Esposito a publié le 18 janvier un texte important sur un blog (« The scholarly kitchen ») où il s’interroge sur la nature des livres numériques. Il commence par faire remarquer que nous avons tendance à considérer le livre comme un pur esprit, exportable de supports en supports (iPad, iPhone, Galaxy Tab, Kindle etc.), de systèmes d’exploitation en systèmes d’exploitation. Mais nous avons tort. Car un livre est aussi contraint par un contenant/format qui influe sur son écriture et impose sa lisibilité. Rien de révolutionnaire, c’est une vieille idée : un livre est une forme (pages reliées, codex) et un discours de l’esprit (définition de Kant), qui s’incarne dans des genres différents susceptibles d’en marquer l’élaboration. Joseph Esposito distingue ainsi 6 formats de livres numériques : Le livre institutionnel : c’est le livre homothétique, la version PDF d’un livre papier, totalement figé, et qui n’est pas prêt de disparaître (1. Deux remarques :
Google Scholar Citations is now open to everyone. It shows great promise as a free, reliable way to track and compare academic impact over time. Google is once again making progress in organising the world’s information, this time by systematising the way scholarly citations are noted. Professor Patrick Dunleavy creates his Google Scholar profile and finds the process intuitive, helpful, and a welcome alternative to traditional measures of academic influence. After a ‘quiet launch’ over the summer Google has opened up its Google Scholar Citations capability to everyone. It is early days but the added value so far seems to be Google’s inclusion of books, conference papers and even blog posts that are not captured by the traditional citation tracking systems but are now crucial outputs in the social sciences. Google’s instructions make the process of building a profile as painless as possible. I was then asked to verify a list of my publications, a process which was incredibly quick and easy, taking only a few minutes (some academics with more common names may find the process takes slightly longer).

Curso 4º ed, cómo publicar en revistas científicas de impacto cons... revistas Professional digital practice in academia: From online networking to building apps An understanding of how to present knowledge and promote learning in digital formats will soon be integral to academic practice. Deborah Lupton gives a tour of the not-to-be-missed academic digital tools available online. In my previous post, I explained the concept of digital sociology and presented four aspects I considered integral to this sub-discipline: professional digital practice, sociological analyses of digital use, digital data analysis and critical digital sociology. In this post I focus on professional digital practice, or using digital media tools for professional purposes: to build networks, facilitate public engagement, receive feedback, establish an e-profile, curate and share content and instruct students. For all these reasons, an understanding of how to present knowledge and promote learning in digital formats will soon become a vital part of academic practice. Here’s some specific ways in which academics can use some of the digital tools now available:
on line Found yourself in a referencing rut? Here are your best options… Are you getting the best out of your referencing software? Ellie Harries tackles Mendeley, Zotero and EndNote in a browse at the choices available for those who find themselves stuck in a referencing rut. Referencing is an essential feature of all academic research and rapid technological advances have contributed to the proliferation of programmes which can help researchers systematically manage their references. Referencing software allows researchers to build up personal libraries of articles, notes and citations and some tools even allow you to share papers and notes with colleagues. While all this is great, there so many options available that it can be hard to know where to begin. MendeleyMendeley is an advanced research management tool which is favoured by some for its use of social networking features. Mendeley’s key features: Zotero Zotero is an add-in that works in the Firefox web-browser. Zotero’s key features: EndNoteEndNote is the old reliable of the referencing tool world.
Organizing your personal research library and compiling bibliographies: I was an EndNote refusenik, but now I’m a Mendeley convert A key aspect of scholarship is how you create a personal research library, find and access your sources when needed, and cite them accurately and comprehensively. Patrick Dunleavy explains how the (relatively new) software Mendeley has transformed his previous time-consuming practice in just a few days, and solved numerous other problems of accessing literature and sources wherever he is. Mendeley can offer all academics and PhDs massive productivity gains. Until a few days ago the way I organized my research library was a bit chaotic, and doing references and bibliographies was always a huge chore that often took days at a time. Essentially I had hundreds and hundreds of PDFs, extracts from blogs and web pages, Word documents and presentations swilling around my hard drive. They were segmented into lots of different folders, sometimes with duplicates, often in the wrong place. I rationalized this state of affairs to myself many different ways.
