LS2N's five areas of expertise are: Industry of the future - Management of energy and environmental impact - Life Sciences - Vehicle and mobility - Design, culture and digital society. With a strong scientific talent at the heart of digital sciences, this large laboratory of 450 people participates fully in the digital revolution of our society on the scientific and technical subjects it implements. Research is performed consciously of the societal challenges that this revolution engenders, and remaining curious and openminded to other disciplines. The complexity of the research objects that we are studying also forces us to adopt a global systemic approach in which computer concerns, automatic control, signal and image processing are interwoven in order to answer the questions asked by open, interactive, communicating and ubiquitous systems. The laboratory is an actor in innovation that values these objects with partners in its environment. The LS2N is supported by 5 public institutions of Higher Education and Research. It is located in Nantes on 5 geographical sites. Its research activity is structured in ### 5 areas of expertise **Systems Design and Operation** *As the design of an industrial system is closely linked to the definition of its control system, the « systems design and operation » topic is associated with automation, production management, industrial engineering as well as embedded and real-time systems.* **Robotics, Processes and Calculation** *Robots have become increasingly autonomous, interacting more and more with humans and their environment. Their future is being built according to society's and industry's expectations. This topic deals with action, perception and control as well as decision algorithms and increasingly intuitive software interfaces.* **Data Science and Decision-making** *Faced with ever increasing data volumetrics and their increasing complexity, classification models and research algorithms are at the heart of the « Data Science and Decision-Making » topic.* **Signals, Images, Ergonomics and Languages** *This topic covers the disciplines relating to signals, images, sounds, languages, written text, physiological measures and human factors.* **Software and Distributed Systems Science** *Based on the tremendous growth in the number and complexity of computers (objects connected to data centers) and the migration from centralized systems to distributed systems, this topic focuses particularly on programming, software and systems engineering.* ### 5 cross-cutting themes in line with societal challenges **Industry of the future** *The Industries of the future of the future is considered "intelligent" and capable of adapting and transforming itself. This applies to factories, health establishments, service companies (financial, government, IT, etc.) and cities.* **Management of energy and environmental impact** *Better managing energy consumption and reducing our impact on the environment are major challenges of the 21st century. In order to address this crucial problem, European policy, also applied at national level, adopted in 2008, sets ambitious environmental objectives called "20-20-20 targets".* **Life Sciences** *Better living, living longer and in good health and making rational use of biological resources are two very important issues for the 21st century. They have been identified as priorities by the Horizon 2020 programme. These concerns are central to the transversal theme in life sciences for which the laboratory wishes to strengthen and enhance its visibility.* **Vehicule and mobility** *The automobile creates problems related to road safety, energy consumption and pollution. These societal issues are a major concern for automotive manufacturers and the scientific community.* **Design, culture and digital society** *The fundamental characteristic is that at the heart of these crossovers is the human being considered in his cognitive, creative, social and other dimensions. We consider that such fields of application are conducive to the emergence of both new scientific concepts and tools, and new tools and uses that have an impact on society, illustrating the laboratory's desire to participate in the construction of our Digital Society.*

workflow csan

Prenons un utilisateur lambda qui aimerait partager un programme ou un code de son projet avec d’autres utilisateurs, ou tout simplement pouvoir simplement accéder à ce programme dans plusieurs mésocentres, sans avoir à se préoccuper de le maintenir à jour partout. Cet utilisateur doit, à minima: fournir un fichier décrivant le conteneur (par exemple un fichier Dockerfile si c’est sous Docker ou GUIX si c’est sous guix…) respectant les bonnes pratiques (explicitées sur le portail), remplir les métadonnées obligatoires (cf Annexe). Une fois la soumission effectuée, un ensemble de procédés automatiques va construire l’image, scanner le code pour déceler d’éventuelles failles de sécurité et faire tourner les tests unitaires. Une fois les tests passés et les failles de sécurités identifiés, le conteneur est publié sur le portail CSAN avec des informations sur l’auteur et les métadonnées. A posteriori, un sysadmin de mésocentre va s’assurer que le programme tourne de manière optimisée sur le système de son mésocentre, et le cas échéant valide ce conteneur pour son mésocentre. Les utilisateurs utilisant le portail pourront ainsi vérifier que le conteneur est indiqué et validé pour tourner dans le mésocentre de son choix. Une fois connecté dans un environnement de calcul, notre utilisateur (ou n’importe quel autre utilisateur) pourra récupérer le conteneur simplement (via un pull ; docker pull conteneur:latest par exemple) et faire tourner le programme sur ses données locales.
