User Interface and Interaction Prototyping for Defense

Thales Defense Mission System France team is a Thales Business Unit that is responsible for prototyping UI and Interaction of large projects for the national French defense. The following video (https://files-debugging.inria.fr/?dir=Science-Talks/Hot-Debugging-Defense-Industry) shows a real simulation setup with a flight team performing surveillance tasks. The simulation lasts a full day and the Thales team is monitoring and debugging live the prototypes that they are validating with the simulation. Pharo and Smalltalk flexibility (on-the-fly stack reification, serialization) and hot update capabilities are key for the team.
