Aims and Scope
The rapid evolution of large-scale AI systems is transforming how we design, operate, and secure modern digital infrastructures. As AI models, data pipelines, and intelligent agents become deeply networked, new architectures are required to support demanding workloads, distributed intelligence, and privacy-preserving computation across heterogeneous environments. This event brings together leading European researchers working at the intersection of networking, systems, and AI, with a focus on three converging movements: (1) network architectures designed for AI and agentic protocols, (2) distributed and trustworthy AI executed across networked systems federated platforms, and (3) data-driven AI frameworks that enable intelligent networks, large-scale measurement, and high-performance orchestration. (4) A final thread addresses the pressing need to build energy-efficient and sustainable AI data centers, ensuring that emerging AI capabilities remain environmentally viable. Through four themed sessions, the event aims to provide a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on the technical, scientific, and architectural foundations of next-generation networked AI ecosystems.
