ABSTRACT:
Edge Computing is a critical layer in the Computing Continuum 
infrastructure, rapidly emerging as a transformative distributed 
technology able to process data closer to the collection point, at the 
edge of the network. This approach enables highly distributed, real-time 
applications across large geographic areas, opening new possibilities 
for applications that require low latency, rapid decision-making, and 
real-time responses.
Recently, the development of high-performance, low-power computing 
devices has significantly advanced the capabilities of edge computing. 
These devices thightly integrate advanced computing units with 
controllers for sensors and actuators, enabling edge nodes to perform 
complex computations locally, reducing the need for centralized cloud 
processing. The main feature of these devices is their very low-power 
consumption of just a few Watts, resulting in a reduced processing 
capability that is not comparable to that of high-end systems. This 
makes it essential to define strategies and methodologies to effectively 
strike a trade-off between high-performance computing and low-energy 
consumption.
This workshop will explore the challenges and strategies for optimizing 
performance at the edge while maintaining energy efficiency, focusing on 
how these emerging devices can support real-time, distributed 
applications in diverse fields. By addressing the limitations and 
opportunities of current edge computing technologies, we aim to create a 
collaborative forum where researchers and practitioners can exchange 
ideas, discuss recent advancements, and explore new methodologies for 
maximizing the potential of edge computing. We invite all interested 
scholars to submit their contributions, including research papers, case 
studies, and practical applications.

TOPICS:
We focus on contributions covering various topics related to 
methodologies, software tools and case studies addressing the challenges 
for deploying highly responsive distributed applications at the edge of 
the network with a special attention to the energy consumption. Topics 
of interest include but are not limited to the following
- Trade-off models for low-power consumption and high-performance computing
- HPC systems and frameworks for edge environments
- Real-time data processing and analysis at the edge
- Edge-to-cloud hybrid computing models for Continuous Computing pipelines
- Performance benchmarking and evaluation of edge devices in real-time 
applications
- Innovative and low-power HPC computing devices
- Model adaptations techniques for limited-resources devices
- Energy aware algorithms and applications on low power devices
- Integration of Cloud/Fog/Edge computing techniques and software tools
