SUMMARY:SPADE: 1st International Workshop on Scheduling & Parallelism in AI for Distributed Edges
DESCRIPTION:Co-located with: 15th International Conference on the Internet of Things (IoT 2025). \nDate: To be announced \nLocation: Vienna\, Austria \n\n1. Workshop Scope & Motivation\nAs cloud\, edge\, and mobile computing continue to converge into a unified computing ecosystem\, there is a growing opportunity for edge platforms to support computationally intensive AI models as services similar to the cloud AI services. However\, constraints on scheduling\, distribution\, and resource managements making large scale adoption slow. Considering these challenges Scheduling and Parallelism for AI in Distributed Edge (SPADE) aims to collect novel contributions on the architecture\, algorithmic\, and practical challenges of deploying computationally intensive applications (Deep learning\, Generative AI\, LLM\, etc) across distributed edge computing. While edge AI offers low-latency and privacy-preserving inference for IoT\, the inability to efficiently parallelize tasks often limits system performance. This workshop targets the combination of computationally intensive models handling parallelism limits\, AI computation and scheduling optimization with resource-constrained\, and heterogeneous edge networks. SPADE will bring together researchers and practitioners working on model partitioning\, decentralized scheduling\, execution frameworks\, hybrid AI pipelines\, and benchmarking testbeds. In addition\, it will address bottlenecks in distributed inference and highlight new strategies for intelligent scheduling and task coordination. The contributions on model slicing\, distributed inference\, workload orchestration\, task-to-node mapping\, and scalable deployment of AI for IoT systems through presentations\, discussion sessions\, and short papers is welcome. \n\n\n2.

SUMMARY:6G-XR Impact Day
DESCRIPTION:The 6G-XR Impact Day takes place on 28 October 2025 in Madrid\, Spain. \nHosted at the 5TONIC – IMDEA Networks Institute\, this full-day event marks the culmination of three years of research and development in extended reality (XR) over Beyond 5G and 6G infrastructures. It showcases results from the 6G-XR (6G eXperimental Research) project\, an EU-funded SNS JU initiative aimed at advancing Europe’s leadership in 6G by enabling next-generation XR services and experimentation platforms. \nOrganised by the South Node partners of 6G-XR and the wider consortium\, the event will feature demonstrations\, panels\, and discussions on immersive connectivity\, standardisation\, and the social and environmental dimensions of XR innovation in Europe. \nParticipants can explore live demonstrations of real-time holographic communication\, interactive 3D digital twins\, and energy-efficient immersive service delivery. The agenda also includes cross-sector panels on XR applications in mobility\, energy\, and media\, along with policy and standardisation dialogues focusing on responsible AI and Europe’s digital transition. \n\n \nRepresenting 6G Flagship\nDr. Jussi Haapola\, University of Oulu\, Finland\, will deliver the 6G-XR Impact Statement: Project Overview and the Road Ahead on 28 October 2025 (09:40 – 10:00 CET).\nThe session introduces the project’s main achievements\, future directions\, and its contribution to European XR and 6G innovation. \n\n\n \n \n6G Flagship Demonstration\nDr. Kenichi Komatsu\, University of Oulu\, leads the Co-creative cyber studio in a sliced 5G O-RAN network demonstration.\nThe showcase features a 3D digital twin Fab Lab remote work XR application under a 5G O-RAN network with a QoS measurement system. \nThe demonstration presents a pioneering approach to developing remote Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab) environments using extended reality (XR) and 3D digital twins\, enabled by cutting-edge private 5G networks. These XR Fab Labs allow multi-user remote collaboration and real-time control of R&D and manufacturing processes. Leveraging 3D digital twins and XR technologies\, users can interact\, review\, and manipulate 3D models in a virtual space. The integration of ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) and network slicing within an Open RAN-based private 5G framework ensures robust low-latency connectivity. An operational demo compared eMBB and URLLC slices under congestion\, while a Quality of Experience (QoE) survey confirmed high usability and minimal perceived latency—demonstrating the feasibility of integrating XR-based digital twins with 5G slicing for remote design and manufacturing in cyber-physical spaces. \n\n\nVisit the official event website for full details and registration.

SUMMARY:IROS 2025
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025) takes place on 19–25 October 2025 in Hangzhou\, China. \nAt IROS 2025\, Taufiq Ahmed from the University of Oulu will present a new method titled Exponentially Weighted Instance-Aware Repeat Factor Sampling (E-IRFS) — a lightweight and effective strategy to improve model training in long-tailed object detection\, a key challenge in real-world UAV-based surveillance scenarios. \nThe method strengthens rare-class representation in training data without introducing instability and is especially impactful for compact models such as YOLOv11-Nano. Experiments show that E-IRFS improves detection of under-represented classes like smoke\, water\, or people — particularly valuable in emergency-response and environmental-monitoring missions. \nThis research supports 6G Flagship’s Distributed Intelligence by addressing key challenges including robust AI training under data imbalance\, efficient edge deployment in multi-drone systems\, and enhanced real-time situational awareness. \n\n \nRepresenting 6G Flagship\nTaufiq Ahmed\, MMSLab\, CMVS\, University of Oulu\, will present Exponentially Weighted Instance-Aware Repeat Factor Sampling for Long-Tailed Object Detection Model Training in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Surveillance Scenarios in Session WeCT9.5 on 22 October 2025 (Wednesday)\, 15:20–15:25 (remote presentation). \n\n\nVisit the official IROS 2025 website for the full programme and updates.
