EMOOSE is a European master in object, component, aspect, oriented software engineering technologies.

The program is taught in English and consists of 5 months of academic studies at EMN - France; and 6 months of research in one of the institutions affiliated to the program.

EMOOSE provides students with a solid background in Software Engineering with an emphasis on up-to-date as well as future technologies facilitating the modularization, reuse, and evolution of software.

The program addresses the concepts behind these technologies, the building of languages and tools supporting the technologies, and their application to software construction, with a wide range of application domains, from information systems and ubiquitous computing to middleware and operating systems.

The Master's prepares the students for research and industrial positions where a solid background in state-of-the-art technology is required. Students also learn to work in international settings by interacting with foreign peers, professors and researchers and by going abroad and experiencing other cultural and working practices.

MLPS -- Management of Logistic and Production Systems

As global competition becomes stronger and the demands of all sectors of the market continue to grow in terms of technology as well as

price and service, companies need engineers and managers who can operate effectively across the Management-Technology interface.

The Industrial Engineer must therefore be competent in all the technical, economic and human aspects of a complex process. In particular, he must be responsible for the design and optimization of a product or a complex system throughout its lifecycle.
The concepts of Industrial Engineering are essential for the design and development of production and logistic systems for both goods and services. Whatever their initial training or first professional experience, engineers or managers can gain the theoretical knowledge and practical know-how that will enable them to become true Industrial Engineers.

Logistics has to do with the management of product and information flows throughout the production system and supply chain. The planning and optimization of logistics and production systems has become a key factor of success for a company's productivity and performance of service in the increasingly competitive global economy.

Socio-economic context

The safe and sustainable management of nuclear waste is one of the major challenges to be addressed by an industry that is once again developing fast. The global dimension of this issue is of prime importance, since few countries have acquired the necessary savoir-faire to be able to propose a solution acceptable to all stakeholders. In France the political and legislative context has changed significantly, in particular with legislation passed in 2006 on the sustainable management of radioactive materials and waste. Industrial solutions for short lived wastes are now available. Studies on interim storage and disposal of long-lived nuclear waste are on-going and should lead to implementation of appropriate measures in the foreseeable future. Decision-makers and all other players in this field are exposed to a highly complex scientific environment where technical expertise is omnipresent, but where the understanding of the stakes is hard to acquire and effective strategies difficult to define. Societal and environmental considerations, as well as the search for public acceptance add to the technological and economic constraints that the nuclear industry must take into account. Before becoming a nuclear waste management expert, it is essential to acquire in-depth knowledge and develop specific competencies. Building on its internationally recognised research and project experience and on its well-proven pedagogy, the Ecole des Mines de Nantes, offers practising engineers the opportunity to acquire a high-level specialisation in this domain. Top level insight is provided by experts coming from all over the world. The program is taught in English and is aimed at a wide public from the corporate world and government agencies as well as young engineering or Master's graduates wishing to pursue their career in this fascinating professional field.

Objectives

• Acquire the basic scientific knowledge necessary for nuclear waste management and understand how to assess long-term safety and environmental impact.

• Master the operating techniques and strategies for the management of nuclear waste.

• Implement appropriate solutions according to the type of waste through project work in industry.

• Gain understanding of a professional context which is under permanent supervision by various stakeholders.

• Build contacts with a large number of international key players in the field.

• Take into account societal considerations in the management of nuclear waste especially with regard to the acceptability of solutions.

Dans le cadre de sa politique de développement à l’international, l’Ecole des Mines de Nantes (EMN) a signé, le 25 juin 2005, une convention de coopération avec l’Université M’Hamed

Bougara de Boumerdès (UMBB).

Le projet CEDAFE (Centre d’Etudes Doctorales Algéro-Français en Energétique), co-administré par l’EMN et L’UMBB, constitue un premier cas d’application de cet accord de coopération. Il s’agit d’un programme de formation supérieure en génie industriel.
C’est dans ce cadre qu’est née la première école doctorale issue du CEDAFE : l’EDEDD (l’Ecole Doctorale en Energétique et Développement Durable). L’EDEDD est ainsi le premier cursus de formation du CEDAFE. Les étudiants de cette formation sont inscrits à l’EMN et à l’UMBB. A l’issue de cette formation, deux diplômes seront délivrés : un diplôme de Magister de l'EDEDD par l’UMBB, et un diplôme de formation spécialisée par l’EMN.

Mastering its operational software is becoming a recognized strategic advantage for most enterprises, especially in a context of increased business competition and reorganization. Unfortunately software systems are expensive to develop and maintain. They are not always adapted to the exact needs of the various stakeholders.

Software engineering has been studied in the last 40 years, but many progresses are still possible. The main current trend is to reduce the gap between the technological platforms and the direct expression of the user needs and application goals. This may be achieved with domain modeling, by using domain specific languages. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is the generic name for a set of innovative software technologies that may be applied to various application domains going from aerospace, automotive, rail, consumer electronics, healthcare, energy to insurance, banking, product management and many more. Decision-makers and all other players in the software engineering field are exposed to a rapidly evolving context where technical expertise is omnipresent, but where the understanding of the stakes is hard to acquire and effective strategies based on advanced technical evolutions difficult to define. Mastering of the latest software productivity practices and especially MDE practices is becoming a critical advantage in conducting many businesses where the strategic decisions are often based on deep and up to date technical knowledge.

Building on its internationally recognized research and project experience and on its well-proven pedagogy, the Ecole des Mines de Nantes, offers practicing engineers the opportunity to acquire a high-level specialization in this MDE domain. The AmmA platform developed by the AtlanMod team for the Eclipse foundation will be used through the various modules as well as other advanced modelers and most recent advanced tooling. Experts coming from all over the world will provide top-level insight. The program is taught in English and is aimed at a wide public from the corporate world and government agencies as well as young engineering or Master's graduates wishing to pursue their career in this fascinating professional field and to gain a complete exposure and practical hands-on expertise on the most advanced software modeling practices.
