About BECS 2021

Edge clouds are becoming an important computing infrastructure for collecting and processing big data as low-latency and reliable communication technologies such as 5G, and Web of Things (WoT) are developed and deployed. Edge clouds are especially useful for efficient and secure data collection and processing for smart cities and smart factories. In edge cloud environments, it is essential to provide web services by efficiently collecting and processing various types of big data in real-time. In addition, it is necessary to develop a framework for building big data service applications in a reliable and usable manner. This workshop aims to provide a venue in which scholars and practitioners can share their experiences and present on-going work on providing value-added web services for users by utilizing big data in edge cloud environments.

Keynote Talk

Distributing Intelligence in the Cloud-to-Edge Continuum

  • Speaker

    Dr. Domenico Siracusa

    Head of the RiSING Research Unit at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Italy

  • Abstract

    Progressive digitalisation, advances in communication technologies and the increasing complexity of IoT-based and Artificial Intelligence applications are fostering the need to support fine-grained, dynamic management of resources on the Cloud-to-Edge continuum. This talk presents the vision proposed by the EU-Korea project DECENTER to create and deploy cloud-native applications over heterogeneous and distributed computing environments. The talk will then discuss the application of the developed technlogies in real-world pilot scenarios stemming from smart city and robotic logistics environments, providing insights on outcomes and open challenges.
