AI-Powered Multi-Device Systems and Applications

Multi-device computing is an emerging research area that envisions autonomous, proactive and dynamic self-organizing collaborations between several devices, e.g., to improve the energy footprint of the individual devices, to accelerate their performance, or to capture information that is not possible to acquire without multiple devices working together. However, merging the resources of multiple devices to work in collaboration in a self-organizing manner is a profound challenge. Devices in the wild are not autonomous nor social entities that are aware of their context, e.g., location, local resources, other devices, I/O interfaces, and users preferences, among others. The theme of the panel is to overview how by leveraging the power of AI, it is possible to design and develop seamless integration of devices to provide better multi-modal interactions to users and to reduce the burden of computations in the wild for devices.
