DESCRIPTION:Join us\, Tuesday\, 24th of June\, 2025\, at 11:15 AM (UTC+3) f
 or an exciting hybrid talk by Dr. Arnaud de La Fortelle on the topic:\n&quot;Fr
 om Big Data to Smart-Data: Rethinking the Edge-Cloud Data continuum for Ne
 xt-Gen AI.&quot;\n\nThis talk is part of the IEEE ITSS Distinguished Lecture Se
 ries (DLS) and will take place onsite at the IEEE IV 2025 Conference\, in 
 the Botticelli Room – Regular Session TuBT5\, Grand Hotel Italia\, Cluj-
 Napoca\, Romania\, and will also be accessible virtually via the link belo
 w.\n\nThe event is organized by the IEEE [ITSS Germany Chapter](https://ie
 ee-itss-germany.org/)\, and technically co-sponsored by [Heex Technologies
 ](https://www.heex.io)\, the [Technical University of Cluj-Napoca](https:/

 9433\n\nAbstract:\n\nAs AI systems evolve toward greater autonomy and phys
 ical embodiment\, the data problem grows more complex and critical. Tradit
 ional Big Data approaches fall short in enabling Agentic AI\, where contex
 t-rich\, decision-relevant information is essential. This talk explores a 
 Smart-Data paradigm tailored for Agentic and Physical AI\, prioritizing hi
 gh-quality\, real-time\, and scenario-specific data to support adaptive\, 
 reliable\, and resource-efficient next-generation AI systems.\n\nBiosketch
 :\n\nDr. Arnaud de La Fortelle is co-founder and CTO of Heex Technologies.
  He designed the vision and the technology behind Smart-Data Management\, 
 a powerful way to address current and future Big Data limitations\, especi
 ally needed for autonomous systems like Autonomous Driving\, ADAS\, Indust
 ry 4.0\, or Smart Cities.\n\nArnaud has been professor and director (2008-
 2021) of the Center for Robotics of Mines Paris (PSL University). He was a
  Visiting Professor at UC Berkeley. He is an elected member of the Board o
 f Governors of IEEE Intelligent Transportation System Society. He has been
  a member of several program committees for conferences and was General Ch
 air of the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2019 in Paris. He was a mem
 ber\, and then president of the French ANR scientific evaluation committee
  for sustainable mobility and cities. He serves regularly as an expert for
  European research programs.\n\nMore on [heex.io](https://www.heex.io/)\n\
