DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe Internet of Things (IoT) has been hailed as th
 e next frontier of innovation in which our everyday objects are connected 
 in ways that improve our lives and transform industries. However\, major c
 hallenges remain in achieving this potential due to the inherent complexit
 y of designing energy-efficient IoT architectures to provide onboard proce
 ssing capabilities where data are gathered (edge computing) for many diffe
 rent possible applications\, often resulting in degraded and unreliable be
 havior and a short lifetime. Prof. Atienza will first present the challeng
 es of ultra-low power (ULP) design and communication overhead in next-gene
 ration IoT devices in the context of Big Data processing. Then\, the benef
 its of exploiting the latest knowledge of how mammalian brains operate to 
 conceive future edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled architectures wi
 ll be discussed. These new edge AI architectures must be heterogeneous har
 dware systems\, including energy-scalable software layers that trigger the
  activation of components by event-driven techniques. As a result\, the ne
 xt-generation edge AI architectures will be able to gracefully adapt the e
 nergy consumption and output precision according to their available energy
  at each moment in time.\n\nShort Bio:\n\nDavid Atienza is a Professor of 
 Electrical and Computer Engineering and heads the Embedded Systems Laborat
 ory (ESL) at EPFL\, Switzerland. He received his MSc and Ph.D. degrees in 
 Computer Science and Engineering from UCM (Spain) and IMEC (Belgium). His 
 research interests focus on system-level design methodologies for energy-e
 fficient computing systems\, particularly multi-processor system-on-chip a
 rchitectures (MPSoC) for servers and next-generation edge AI architectures
  for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. In these fields\, he is co-author o
 f more than 350 publications\, 12 patents\, and has received several best 
 paper awards in top conferences. He was the Technical Program Chair of DAT
 E 2015 and General Chair of DATE 2017. Dr. Atienza received among other re
 cognitions\, the ICCAD 2020 10-Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper A
 ward\, the DAC Under-40 Innovators Award in 2018\, the IEEE TCCPS Mid-Care
 er Award in 2018\, an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2016\, the IEEE CEDA Early
  Career Award in 2013\, the ACM SIGDA Outstanding New Faculty Award in 201
 2\, and a Faculty Award from Sun Labs at Oracle in 2011. He is an IEEE Fel
 low\, an ACM Distinguished Member\, and was the President (period 2018-201
 9) of IEEE CEDA.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/279995
