developing models able to present results as accurate as Foundation Models and
Large Language Models and, at the same time, that can be trained, stored and
run with limited computational resources. SusAI workshop aims at gathering
researchers, present new trends and highlight new ideas about sustainable AI.
In particular, it will present approaches, both at the training and at the
inference levels, for obtaining lighter models, requiring less energy for
training and/or able to be run on edge devices. <span></span></span></p>

10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. All papers
should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link.
A full paper can be up to 6 to 8 pages (including all figures, tables and
references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that
is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions
received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair
for further information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by
at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the FLLM Proceeding,
and be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services
and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers must include
original work, and must not be under consideration for another conference or
journal. Submission of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE
paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete postal and email
address, and fax and phone numbers of the corresponding author. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted
papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be accepted as
regular papers will be accepted as short papers. <span></span></span></p>
