We're excited to share that Prof. Ivana Podnar Žarko, AIoTwin coordinator, presented the AIoTwin Orchestration Middleware at the STEADINESS workshop during HiPEAC 2025 in Barcelona (Jan 20-22, 2025)! 🚀
Her presentation, "Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT): Bringing Intelligence into the Physical World," highlighted the critical need for adaptive and QoS-aware orchestration middleware in the evolving IoT-edge-cloud continuum. This middleware, now open-source on our GitHub repository https://github.com/aiotwin, is designed to manage both learning and inference pipelines.
Prof. Podnar Žarko presented the requirements and architecture of our solution, which extends traditional orchestrators like Kubernetes with AIoT-specific capabilities. We're focused on optimizing resource utilization by considering both infrastructure-related QoS (latency, communication cost) and AI-related performance metrics (accuracy, loss).
Key takeaways from the STEADINESS workshop emphasized the necessity for:
- scalable and adaptable engineering methodologies, especially in safety-critical sectors like automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation;
- modular and interoperable solutions leveraging RISC-V and AI for embedded systems to enhance resilience and performance.
- clear AI regulation guidelines that balance innovation with ethical and security considerations.
