SUMMARY:Toward Integrated Hardware/Software Ecosystems for the Edge-Cloud-
 HPC Continuum: the Transcontinuum Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nToward Integrated Hardware/Software Ecosystems for
  the Edge-Cloud-HPC Continuum: the Transcontinuum Initiative\n\nAntoniu\n\
 nModern use cases such as autonomous vehicles, digital twins, smart buildi
 ngs and precision agriculture, greatly increase the complexity of applicat
 ion workflows. They typically combine physics-based simulations, analysis 
 of large data volumes and machine learning and require a hybrid execution 
 infrastructure: edge devices create streams of input data, which are proce
 ssed by data analytics and machine learning applications in the Cloud, and
  simulations on large, specialized HPC systems provide insights into and p
 rediction of future system state. All of these steps pose different requir
 ements for the best suited execution platforms, and they need to be connec
 ted in an efficient and secure way. This assembly is called the Computing 
 Continuum (CC). It raises challenges at multiple levels: at the applicatio
 n level, innovative algorithms are needed to bridge simulations, machine l
 earning  and data-driven analytics; at the middleware level,  adequate too
 ls must enable efficient deployment, scheduling and orchestration of the w
 orkflow components across the whole distributed infrastructure;  and, fina
 lly, a capable resource management system must allocate a suitable set of 
 components of the infrastructure to run the application workflow, preferab
 ly in a dynamic and adaptive way, taking into account the specific capabil
 ities of each component of the underlying heterogeneous infrastructure. Th
 is talk introduces TCI - the Transcontinuum Initiative - a European multid
 isciplinary collaborative action aiming to identify the related gaps for b
 oth hardware and software infrastructures to build CC use cases, with the 
 ultimate goal of accelerating scientific discovery, improving timeliness, 
 quality and sustainability of engineering artifacts, and supporting decisi
 ons in complex and potentially urgent situations.\n\nTag: Cloud and Distri
