June 2022 Across the world, video cameras have become an accepted feature of urban life. Many cities in China now have dense networks of them, and London and New Delhi aren't far behind. Now France is playing catch-up. Concerns have been raised throughout the country. But the surveillance rollout has met special resistance in Marseille, France's second-biggest city. It's unsurprising, perhaps, that activists are fighting back against the cameras, highlighting the surveillance system's overreach and underperformance.

The field of web and mobile software frameworks is relatively mature, with a large variety of tools in different languages that facilitate traditional app development where data in a relational database is displayed and modified. Our position is that many current frameworks became popular during single server deployment of MVC architecture apps, and do not facilitate modern aspects of app development such as cloud computing and the incorporation of emerging technologies such as AI. We present a novel framework which accomplishes these purposes, Skeet, which was recently released to general use, alongside an initial evaluation. Skeet provides an app structure that reflects current trends in architecture, and tool suites that allow developers with minimal knowledge of AI internals to easily incorporate such technologies into their apps and deploy them.
