First of all, thanks for the introduction Marcus. 

Just that people know, and to introduce myself, I���m C��drik B��ler, associate professor at ENIT (Nation Engineering School of Tarbes). 

ENIT is a French generalist engineering school in Tarbes (southwest of France).



I���m very happy that ENIT is now part of the consortium as academic member. 

Pharo and Smalltalk have been a huge source of inspiration for me during my PHD back in 2004/2008, so I���m really happy to have a more concrete participation now.

My objectives are of two kind:
(1) use Pharo as a digital workbench to teach engineering students and experiment ICT trends like IoT (PharoThings/Pi3/PiZero/ESP32), AI, web applications (client/server, MQTT, API usage with Zinc, web scrapping with XPATH and Zinc and Neo���). 
(2) use Pharo for my research to prototype Cyber-Physical Systems (mainly in the field of predictive maintenance) and Distributed Information Systems (called Singular Information System).

I���ll give a talk at ESUG as an experience feedback for point (1).

In the future, I���ll present our research development around CPS���s.

I���m also interested in developing a local user group. Some students get interested. In Biarritz, ESTIA, I also have some common interest in developing such CPS researches/platforms. If people from this area are using Pharo/Smalltalk, please do not hesitate to contact me.

To conclude, I���m interested in plenty of Pharo sub-projects like (non exhaustive list):
- The web/network stack (Zinc, Zodiac, Neo, XPath���)
- PharoThings
- Bloc/Brick/Roassal
- Wooden3D (VR and AR)
- Workflow
- Distributed networking (opportunistic, MESH, discovery, ���)

See you soon over there,

Cheers,

C��drick B��ler
