In the textile industry, corporate transparency does not provide information about products that would allow customers to make informed purchases. Based on a literature review, the concept of product transparency is defined as the disclosure of information concerning a specific product about traceability and sustainability conditions for the suppli...
Creativity is key in the early phases of innovation processes. With the rapid evolution of technologies, designers now have access to various tools to support this activity. Virtual reality (VR) takes over multiple domains, especially during conception. However, is VR really facilitating creativity in the initial ideation phases? We compare two ske...
Works on garment and shoe dismantlement and recycling have highlighted the complexity of this kind product and the difficulty to find a recycling channel for each material they are made of. The way they are designed perturbate the recycling process at products end of life. This paper examines these product complexities and proposes Unlinear methodo...
The Textile & Clothing industry is facing systemic and global challenges due both to ecological and economic crises. Today, increasing full traceability of supply chain is one of the key points to optimize production but it should also serve to inform consumers to foster sustainable purchasing decision. We argue that the total traceability of the g...
Refurbishing existing building into Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) is a key objective for the European Union. In order to achieve high rate of conversion, new refurbishment process must allow Decision Makers (DMs) (architects or designers) to sort through an ever increasing list of new technologies while taking into account uncertain preferences...
Industrial digital transformation is bringing a need for new tools and concepts. However, designing such complex tools and concept requires methods to be correctly implemented. These methods are studied as part of system engineering to satisfy various identified goals, and more specifically human-system integration, which is the topic of this paper...
The oil-and-gas industry is known to be part of the most safety-critical domains. Safety culture has prompted such companies to implement new systems to support decision-making. In this paper, we explore the use of digital twins to support situation awareness as a crucial part of real-time decisionmaking processes. Therefore, this paper presents re...
Decision making in the context of Near Zero Energy Building refurbishment is subjected to heterogeneous stakeholders, tools and objectives. This paper presents a methodology to facilitate stakeholders collaboration in the refurbishment processes and identifies decision support approaches to help on the main decision milestones. This methodology is...
Product success depends on its capacity to meet users’ expectations. Human Centred Design approach helps to reach this success by focussing on users’ needs in the design process. These needs are as well functional as hedonic. Designing products requires then to design hedonic properties affecting users’ perception. For sport products, people wants...
L'élevage de précision a pour objectif d'améliorer la productivité des exploitations agricoles et s'appuie sur un ensemble d'équipements technologiques qui produisent des données qu'il convient de collecter, stocker et analyser et qui concernent chaque animal et son environnement. Cette nouvelle façon de gérer une exploitation agricole constitue un...
La prise de décision dans le contexte de la rénovation de bâtiment à consommation quasi-nulle implique de prendre en compte une multitude de parties prenantes, d’outils et d’objectifs différents. Cet article présente une méthodologie pour faciliter la collaboration entre les parties prenantes dans le processus de rénovation. Il identifie également...
While the 7 million-head French sheep industry is contracting, the average herd size is rising, providing challenging issues to maintain and improve its productivity. Precision Livestock Farming has allowed the sheeps and herds to be equipped with sensors and has a result the amount of data to be processed by farmers has surged. We argue that in or...
Design and uses: How successful multidisciplinary integration in user-centered design, and for what benefits?
In the context of the emergence of collaborative innovation projects between competitiveness clusters, the animation of creative sessions permits to identify new opportunities. The number of ideas generated is a lot more important than the number of collaborative innovation projects implemented subsequently. To improve this ratio, we verify that gr...
In this paper, we propose a tangible user interface for the monitoring of new ideas generations (ideation phase) during creative sessions. Based on the analysis of different brainstorming, we highlight the dynamic of ideas production by different groups during ideation phase using electronic devices. We claim that this tangible user interface is de...
Dans le contexte spécifique de coopétition entre les membres de clusters ou de pôles de compétitivité, l'émergence de projets innovants collaboratifs est un enjeu majeur pour les clusters et leurs adhérents (composés d'entreprises, d'universités, laboratoires…). Étant donné l'hétérogénéité en termes de connaissances et de profils des écosystèmes qu...
Dans le cadre de l'émergence de projets collaboratifs d'innovation, l'animation de séance de créativité permet d'identifier de nouvelles opportunités. Généralement, le nombre d'idées générées est bien plus important que le nombre de suites données (e.g. étude, lancement et montage de projets associés). Afin d'améliorer ce ratio, nous faisons les hy...
In the context of the emergence of collaborative innovation projects, the animation of creative sessions permits to identify new opportunities. The number of ideas generated is a lot more important than the number of collaborative projects implemented. To improve this ratio, we assume that group discussions could be facilitated by the cleavage of o...
Web design galleries are important sources of inspiration in early phases of web design. However they showcase graphical elements without any promotion of interactive features. This paper presents I++, a web design gallery, centered on interaction: it pinpoints the key innovative interactive features of web sites through three levels of presentatio...
Web design galleries are extremely popular for searching inspiration in web design, but there is a lack of rich search functions. Recent works in the field have focused on style similarity browsing, where one hops from design to design based on their style similarity. In this paper, we claim for a study of the multiple dimensions of this notion of...
Ma thèse s'inscrit dans le domaine de l'ingénierie de l'interaction homme-machine. Elle traite de la conception d'interfaces hommes machine (IHM). La créativité n'y est souvent considérée que de manière marginale. Pourtant l'effervescence technologique et la diversité résultante des contextes d'usage appellent à de plus en plus de créativité. Ma th...
Creativity is key in User Interfaces (UI) design. Numerous methods and tools exist for supporting creativity. However few have focused on the presentation of examples so far. We propose Magellan an interactive evolutionary environment to semi-automatically generate examples galleries suited to the problem under study. We report a qualitative evalua...
Examples browsing is a common designer practice in user interface design. Several design galleries can be found on Internet. However, those galleries are hand crafted and thus limited and cumbersome to build. In this paper, we claim for tools for supporting both the production and exploration of examples. We describe a running prototype based on In...
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) has focused on the latest stages of the design process so far and as a result has missed the opportunity to foster creativity in the early phases. Our research aims at stretching MDE all over the design process including the creative phases so that to go beyond the well-known "fast-food UIs? limit of MDE. We propose t...
Fostering creativity in User Interface (UI) design is challenging for innovation. This paper explores the combination of model-based approaches and interactive genetic algorithms to foster the exploration of the design space. A user task model is given in input. Magellan produces sketches of UIs that aim at inspiring the designer. Later on, appropr...
This paper addresses the need of a support for stimulating creativity when designing User Interfaces. Model-based approaches provide a powerful support for saving development and maintenance costs but they somehow kill creativity. Magellan explores the combina-tion of model-based approaches and interactive genetic algorithms to tackle the problem w...

The construction sector is the highest energy consumer (about 40%) and main contributor to GHG emissions (about 36%) in Europe. At this stage, tackling the refurbishment of existing residential buildings is a top priority and decarbonisation is the main goal aligned with the European energy and climate change policies.
The REZBUILD project is mainly aimed at creating a collaborative refurbishment ecosystem focused on the existing residential building stock. Nowadays, the Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) renovation methodologies are required as one of the key enablers supported by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme in order to promote business research and innovation through energy-efficient buildings.
REZBUILD will address these challenges by opening the construction sector with the integration of innovation technologies in order to pave the way towards an annual renovation rate of 2,5% instead of current rates lower than 1%.
This project is awarded by the European Commission with a H2020 programme Grant of € 6,996,128.25 and a total budget of € 9,038,208.75. REZBUILD started in October of 2017 and will run for 4 years.
