<h2>Distributed Systems - The next level</h2>
<p>As humans, things, software and AI continue to become the
entangled fabric of distributed systems, systems engineers and
researchers are facing novel challenges. In this talk, we analyze
the role of IoT, Edge, and Cloud, as well as AI in the
co-evolution of distributed systems for the new decade. We
identify challenges and discuss a roadmap that these new
distributed systems have to address. We take a closer look at how
a cyber-physical fabric will be complemented by AI
operationalization to enable seamless end-to-end distributed
systems.</p>

<p>Invited speaker : <strong>Professor Schahram Dustdar</strong> -
Distributed Systems Group, TU Wien, Austria</p>
