Title: Challenges in the Design of AI+IoT-Edge-Cloud Systems (AIECS) in the Age of LLMs
Abstract: Over the past decade, the technological landscape has shifted from “communication everywhere” to “computation and AI everywhere,” enabled by a continuum of platforms spanning IoT, edge, and cloud systems, alongside advances in AI models. The convergence of these technologies has given rise to a new generation of AI+IoT-Edge-Cloud Systems (AIECS) that are transforming everyday life. In this talk, we will shed light on two main challenges these systems introduce: generative AI integration across the continuum, and programmability of these systems. The former focuses on the challenges like reasoning, and output fusion across edge-cloud. The latter, however, elaborates on the emerging programming abstractions to mitigate programming burdens of AIECS.
Biography: Mohsen Amini Salehi received his Ph.D. in Computing and Information Systems from Melbourne University, in 2012. He is an NSF CAREER Awardee Associate Professor and the director of High Performance Cloud Computing (HPCC) lab, at the department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of North Texas (UNT). His research focuses on the next generation of cloud computing systems, including edge-to-cloud continuum, Cloud+AI, and Cloud-based assistive technology. He has published 80+ peer reviewed papers, filed 6 patents, and received more than $3M federal funding from NSF and NASA.
