The EU-funded project TERMINET has worked on next-generation IoT across six realistic use cases, featuring software-defined networking, edge computing, virtualization, federated learning, augmented, and virtual reality interfaces. For TERMINET, ERCIM focused on standardization, as well as conducting research on moving beyond the limitations of current approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning.

We are pleased to share insights from the recent 4th Workshop jointly organized by ERCIM and the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), held in Kyoto, Japan, in October 2023. This workshop, themed “Exploring New Research Challenges and Collaborations in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Human-Computer Interaction, and the Internet of Things,” served as a dynamic platform for European and Japanese researchers to present their latest findings and discuss future collaborations.
Hosted by JST as part of the Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform project, the event successfully fostered discussions on cutting-edge research and development in critical technological domains. Participants had the unique opportunity to explore potential partnerships within the framework of European Commission programs and corresponding initiatives by JST, setting the stage for innovative international collaborations in the fields of AI, Big Data, HCI, and IoT.

The ERCIM Selection Committee for the Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award unanimously selected Rianne de Heide, nominated by CWI, as the winner for 2023. An honorary mention is given to Denis Merigoux from Inria.
Dr. Rianne de Heide's research activity stands out for its quality and breadth. Her work covers a wide variety of topics within the general field of mathematical statistics, with focus on learning from data. In her work, Bayesian learning is used as a tool, sometimes critically evaluated, sometimes extended, always with a strong mathematical-theoretical component. Her work reaches breadth by (a) the aspects of learning from data/statistics that are studied: optional stopping, misspecification (statistics with incorrect but useful models), philosophical problems in induction, bandits, and (b) the scope across various other disciplines: philosophy and logic, psychology, and machine learning and AI.

The Institute of Software Engineering and Technology (ITIS, or ITIS Software) is a unit of the University of Malaga dedicated to scientific and technical research [L1]. The main objective of ITIS is to contribute to the development and application of software technologies through research, innovation, training, and technology transfer. Due to the transversal characteristics of software, the Institute is an interdisciplinary center in which specialists in different technological areas and application domains work together to advance these technologies.

The ERCIM Ethics Working Group organised jointly with Inria and CNPEN (the French National Pilot Committee for Digital Ethics) a forum targeted at scientists and Research Ethics Boards on 17-18 October 2022 in Paris. This successful event, which brought together researchers interested in ethics of digital and connected technologies, consisted of keynotes, presentations and tutorials, and provided ample space for interactive sessions and open discussions.
Most of the recorded presentations are available on the ERCIM Youtube channel. See also the report in ERCIM News and the Workshop programme with links to the slides and the recorded presentations.

Fourteen leading European organisations join forces to provide a framework for green and privacy-preserving data operations in an edge-to-cloud architecture.
Existing network architectures offer a variety of options for storage and analysis of data. Currently, however, network architecture follows a cloud-based logic thereby hampering the exploitation of distributed architectures’ potential. Therefore, organisations that operate on an edge-to-cloud architecture have to deal with suboptimal results with regards to energy efficiency, computation and resources allocation for data storage and management performance. This problem is most relevant in large organisations with many distributed entities, such as public administrations, or organisations that make an intensive use of sensors, such as the ones operating in Industry 4.0.
