PAINEL 2 - The Computing Continuum: managing computing and networking from the edge to the cloud

Wednesday, August 18, 2021 | 15:00PM - 17:00PM

As the cloud extends to the fog and the edge, computing services can be scattered over a set of computing resources that encompass users' devices, the cloud, and intermediate computing infrastructure deployed in between. Moreover, increasing networking capacity promises lower delays in data transfers, enabling a continuum of computing capacity that can be used to process large amounts of data with reduced response times. 

The emergence of the computing continuum paradigm demands system architectures and management mechanisms that seamlessly encompass computing, storage, and networking. This panel will aim to pose questions and discuss important research aspects that deserve attention when considering the computing continuum as an infrastructure to run any application, from simple data aggregation to advanced distributed machine learning algorithms.
