English version

In the context of an international Chaire Francqui 2021-2022, the Faculty of Computer Science (UNamur) has the honor to receive Professor Schahram Dustdar (TU Wien, Austria) from the 29th to the 31st of March, for a series of online lectures on the theme of: “Distributed systems – the next level”.
The inaugural lecture, entitled “Engineering the New Fabric of the Compute Continuum - IoT, Edge, and Cloud”, will be held on the 29th of March 2022, at 6pm.

Abstract:

As humans, things, software and AI continue to become the entangled fabric of distributed systems, systems engineers and researchers are facing novel challenges. In this talk, we analyze the role of IoT, Edge, and Cloud, as well as AI in the co-evolution of distributed systems for the new decade. We identify challenges and discuss a roadmap that these new distributed systems have to address. We take a closer look at how a cyber-physical fabric will be complemented by AI operationalization to enable seamless end-to-end distributed systems. 

Program:

  • INAUGURAL LECTURE : Engineering the New Fabric of the Compute Continuum - IoT, Edge, and Cloud: Tuesday 29/03 – 18 :00-19 :00 – Online
  • SESSION 1 : Fundamentals of Distributed Systems: Tuesday 29/03 – 09:00-12:00 – Online
  • SESSION 2 : Understanding the Compute Continuum - Social Compute Units, Internet of Things, Edge, Fog, and Cloud Computing: Wednesday 30/03 – 09:00-12:00 – Online
  • SESSION 3 : Towards a novel methodology for engineering Distributed Computing Continuum systems: Thursday 31/03 – 09:00-12:00 – Online

About the speaker:

Schahram Dustdar is Full Professor of Computer Science heading the Research Division of Distributed Systems at the TU Wien, Austria. He holds several honorary positions: University of California (USC) Los Angeles; Monash University in Melbourne, Shanghai University, Macquarie University in Sydney, University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain. From Dec 2016 until Jan 2017 he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Sevilla, Spain and from January until June 2017 he was a Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley, USA.

From 1999 – 2007 he worked as the co-founder and chief scientist of Caramba Labs Software AG in Vienna (acquired by Engineering NetWorld AG), a venture capital co-funded software company focused on software for collaborative processes in teams. Caramba Labs was nominated for several (international and national) awards: World Technology Award in the category of Software (2001); Top-Startup companies in Austria (CapGemini Ernst & Young) (2002); MERCUR Innovation award of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (2002). He is co-founder of edorer.com (USA) and sinoaus.net (based in Nanjing, China), where he is the chief-scientist.

He is founding co-Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Internet of Things (ACM TIoT) as well as Editor-in-Chief of Computing (Springer). He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, ACM Computing Surveys, ACM Transactions on the Web, and ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, as well as on the editorial board of IEEE Internet Computing and IEEE Computer. Dustdar is recipient of multiple awards: IEEE TCSVC Outstanding Leadership Award (2018), IEEE TCSC Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing (2019), TCI Distinguished Service Award 2021 by the IEEE Technical Committee on the Internet (TCI) (2021), ACM Distinguished Scientist (2009), ACM Distinguished Speaker (2021), IBM Faculty Award (2012). He is an elected member of the Academia Europaea: The Academy of Europe, where he is chairman of the Informatics Section, as well as an IEEE Fellow (2016) and an Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA) Fellow and president (2021).
